If you did that, then your contract with the windscreen company is null and void and they do not have to rectify any situation that may have arised. Despite the fact that that is a cuntish way to go about things (no offence intended)

Your manager is/was wrong. The contract for payment is between the windscreen company and the insurance company. The windscreen company does not keep excess money. This money is collected BY the windscreen company on behalf of the insurance company. It is then banked into the insurance companies bank account. Then the insurance company pays the full ammount for the job. IE, if the job costs £300, the windscreen company collects £60, gives it to the insurance company and then the insurace company gives the windscreen company £300.

The contract for the product replacement is between the customer and the windscreen company. If a product is incorrectly supplied/fitted, or faulty, the contract still lies with the windscreen company. The insurance company have nothing to do with it other than the payment and proceedure of allowing the replacement.
