Windscreen Replacement - Save Big money..

[BigRAWesty]

Thats weird as I just had my windscreen done by them, Over Christmas my windscreen decided it would be goo to crack 15cm up the middle and 10cm left to the passenger side, Called aami and put in a claim for my free windscreen, when they guy came out I asked how much it was and he said 390-420 installed?

He never mentioned anything about a seal at all though.

Yea if your seal is intact then all good. I got mine done. By O'brains, went to pick it up and 'that'll be $110 thanks'.
WTF. They charged me for the seal.. its not part of the glass they recon..
Duck I hate insurance companies...

U should always replace the seal when the screen comes out. Not sure about the GU but GQ seals aren't solid and have a seam which almost always tears

I just had mine done today after the kayak incident (see the "complete goose of yourself" thread) and not a cent was charged and very quick, they came to me. I pay $35 a month for something ridiculous like 5 free windscreens a year through GIO. This was through Mark from "O".

Edited: That should read $35 a year.

I have had nothing but bad experience with one of these so called windscreen places. is it a 4 year course or 2 two weeks riding shotgun to get your ticket. either way it took them two weeks 3 windscreens and still couldn,t get it right. that was with the boss doing it after I spat the dummy after the dent in my bonnet, I could go on but I may end up naming them, ncot
