[GTsGTi]

Truck was good enough to send a decent size stone into windscreen this arvo and its replacement windscreen time

Anyone had expereince with same or suggestions - (local dealer no help, 'whoever you like' was the reply) - anyone used the old standard O'Brien's or maybe NRMA? Just wondering if need VW OEM or the units teh O'Briens et al use.

Any comments/suggestions welcomed!

Cheers.

Someone else has asked this here before, you might want to search for it. I only recall that the answer was to insist on the OEM one.

I had a stone chip repaired a while back (The R was only 3 weeks old too!) Mine had a chip and small crack around a 5cent piece in size. Obrien's did a repair with no issues and I can hardly notice it's there now - been almost 18 months! Only cost me a couple of hundred too! May be better to call them and ask about a repair first! Good luck

Cheers Guys - had a look around and did a search but obviously not thoroughly enough.
LOL - sadly she is waaaaaay beyond repair, darn thing has a complete shattered cirlce size of a golf ball (sic).
As the saying goes, not happy jan!

There is a guy in my neck of the woods called Collins Windscreens. Dad used him a few years ago with no dramas and I've never heard a bad thing about him.
