alkyz89 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Just a quick question just noticed a crack on my windscreen :( Had a stone chip just below the window wipers on the black part of the glass (not visible from inside the car) obviously didnt know it was there until now! Question being how much would this cost to replace? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btmaldon Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 If you have windscreen cover on your insurance and depending on the maximum amount it covers, it will be the standard excess, which is £70 I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Minty Jupe Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 had mine done and it was £100 due to it being a heated screen ,the only good thing was i had the dreaded fault of only half the screen working before and now its all good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alkyz89 Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 my excess is £65 but it says it will cover a max of £90 after excess is subtracted so im guessing that mean if the windscreen comes to more than £155 ill have to pay the rest ??

Gary Minty Jupe Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 i believe a heated screen is about £400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brigante Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 65quid is good considering a new heated screen would of cost 400quid i think it's 70quid for me if i use the insurers recommended insurer, which is autowindscreens, not autoglass had to use em twice now once when my rear screen exploded when the tail gate unexpectedly slammed shut about 6months or so ago, that was a 70quid excess and most recently the other week when a lorry i was stuck behind kicked up a load of grit on an a road which pinged of me windscreen with enough force to chip it next to me rear view mirror luckily i clocked the chip before it could turn into a crack so it only cost me a 25quid excess for a repair n didnt need to be replaced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
