Is this a good price?

Not second hand and definetly a heated screen.

 

Thats ok mate

 

sounds it...

the glass alone for a sierra costs more than that

 

sounds very cheap to me. Especially being heated. I thought they were a lot more

 

Check with your insurance company about windscreen cover, Greenlight will charge you £60 all up to have the windscreen replaced through an authourised dealer if you have fully comp cover

 

yeah about 350 from ford iirc

 

Jon if its for an escort, the Htd front screen COST price is £92.32

So if your gettin it fitted for £125 it is a very good price (saying that there only a rubber job, so no expense in glue/materials etc...)

Retail they go for £256, major insurance compaines get them for £189

Only thing thats worth checking, is that the non o.e glass silver element strips get covered by the rubber, they may stand there and say "oh, you cant cover them up completely" but you can with a bit of time and patience fitting

 

That's good Jon. I paid £148 fitted including VAT for mine, it's a Pilkington which apparently is a good make.


What you doing with your car now dude?

 

he aint being a poof & makin it consourse!

 

getting a few bits done and advertising it properly. Haven't done anything with it really because I'd agreed a sale but I've been let down with the sale. Everything agreed but guy got turned down for a loan.

This is the small ford center that are doing it.

I would do it through insurance but mine has run out and I hope to only insure it for a month or two and get a refund. If I claim on a windscreen I won't get a refund.

Good point about the elements. I noticed mine has shows now and has done for a while.

 

Who is then?

 

o.e glass is the securit, pilkington is just as good, just make sure it aint a shitty South african made peice of glass

 

Where was that from TT?

 

Whatever you do dont try and sell a heated screen on here, aparently they are not worth £30

 

@ adam

 

pmsl, had to get it in Till

 

Through a mate

 

Damo, who owns the smart repair brand??

Could have sworn it was Belron BV, AKA Autoglass???

 

Noone owns "SMART REPAIR" as a brand, AFAIK

We used to have a registered trademark on S.M.A.R.T .... not really enforced too much now, SMART repairers have become to common to be chasing everyone whos used it.......

There are shed loads of companies who do smart repairs now who use that term in thier name

 

Brought 1 from National Windscreens of Princess Road, Dartford. On Monday

Was £140
Took my dad 5 mins to fit it.

Was a Pilkington (which Ford now use in all new cars)

P.S. Bloke said someone had rung up 2 mins before i did about same screen, Was that you Jon??

 

Yeah

 

Damo, i think autoglass have started using some of the SMART systems, to repair all the damage that us goons inflict on cars

 

Got the windscreen people next to APT in Norwich coming to me tomorrow morning to fit me a BRAND NEW heated front screen

Price?? Cheaper than all stated above, told em, don't want a receipt, and paying cash so good price quoted

They travelling 20 odd miles too

 

Sorted James

 

pmsl @ adam, u pikey

 

National Windscreens - good idea matt. They are 2 seconds from me. Better than going to Chatham

 

Steve -

 

£103 fitted, will let you know the outcome this afternoon

 

Leaky Leaky, Drip Drip

 

 

Get it fitted mate

 

Had windscreen fitted - Pilkington glass unfortunately can see the heated element strip on each side

Spent a little while on it, I'm happy

Tillio, it won't leak

 

I am currently looking into windscreen fitting as a profession as I used to work for RAC AutoWindscreens. Im trying to get trade accounts with people such as Pilkington, so if I can do windows any cheaper I will let ya know

Btw, £400 odd it was for a heated front screen on me Sapphire Cossie.... But I got mine for free

 

Fletch

You would be probably only be able to get trade accounts with;

LADDAWS
or
MASTER AUTOGLASS

Tried getting trade accoutns before with main manufacturers

 

Thats the one I was thinking of, Laddaws. Used to use the one in Heathrow area for RAC and couldn't remember the name... Cheers mate

Will email them and see what I can do

 

LOL

 

Aiiii.... cheesewire and plastics dont mix too well do they mate

Yeah I've mopped up after "you're lot" before
