Windscreen cracked

**hkogti** · 03-07-2008, 09:04 AM

Driving on the motorway this morning, a rock (golf ball size) flies to my windscreen...

Only had the car for 2 weeks and now with a cracked windscreen....

Heart breaking....

Anyone have an idea roughly how much is it going to cost to replace a genuine windscreen?

At least it didn't hit the paint.

You might have a windscreen replacement in your insurance policy?

Between 400 and 700 dollars I reckon!

Got quote from different dealer, the windscreen itself is between 340-375.

Strange enough, different dealer sell spare parts in different price...

Labour also vary from 220-400.

And one of the dealer told me that they are not fixing it themself, they are getting other ppl to fix it for me....

Also quoted 348 all up for replacement of a generic windscreen. And it cost 109 to fix, if it can be fix....

btw, i have that flexi premium thing with AxxI. And my excess is 1600...

So i dun think i will claim insurance for it...

1 week wages for the windscreen....

I hate that stupid rock that hit my car...

LOL between $300-$350 fitted, why you would want to get a original one from the dealer is beside me when actual windscreen places will do you a better job for half the price and also give you warranty on top of it

what windscreen you put in will not affect your warranty

and believe it or not theres not cameras in your polo beaming video back to VW HQ in germany

that sucks though, you should be able to get windscreen insurance for about 50$ and when you claim it you dont pay an excess. thats what i have from NRMA anyway.
