Hey all,
Where can I get a heated front screen for my MK3/4 Escort and how much?

Simon.

 

Insurance company? LOL.

Do you have a screen in it at the moment? Can't you lob a brick at it and claim on your windscreen cover??!!

 

Took the words out my mouth!

 

about 65 quid supply and fit from a 1man band..your excess will probably be more
just noticed you said heated..prob around 120 quid

 

WOW!

I just logged on to ask the very same question!! I have just been quoted Ł217 by Auto Windscreens inc vat and fitting. Sod that tho surely there are cheaper options? My none heated screen was about Ł50.

 

Just pay the 60 quid or whatever excess on your insurance if you're fully comp, doesn't affect your no claims or owt! I know when i enquired about one a while back it was certainly alot more than Ł65 so just did it thriugh insurance in the end!!!

 

Not much use if the screen isnt heated already.

Some insurance firms dont cover heated screens in the small print.

 

i may have one for sale matey pm me if needed

 

im a windscreen fitter by trade. all fully comp insurance covers for heated screens but not all cover for oe parts.. as for paying outright i could supply and fit a heated one for Ł150 but i live in notts so maybe too far.....

 

put a wanted post up on the west site mate

as alot of people have mk3 or mk4 escorts on there an there always seems to be plenty breaking or parts for sale etc

maybe worth a bash as am sure dalsy would bring it up to you when collecting his car ?

 

dan if you find any at a decent price let me know, im after one aswell

 

i have one for sale - one of the contacts has come off but can be bonded back on

 

bonded back on with what?????

 

unsure tbh

was told that this is possible it looks as if its only on with silicon of some sort

 

I've been in the windscreen game for 7 years and NEVER seen that. Many have policy limits, for example; Swift Cover policies have a Ł140 limit on them, so anything over that the customer pays, alongside their excess.

But I've never seen an ins company have a clause for heated screens....

 

The car has no insurance.

I was wanting a new one, as you know most used heated screens have broken filaments.

But a second hand one is an option.

Simon.

 

Just bought mine and its being fitted on Sunday for Ł155 all in brand new. Mine is green tint but bronze is available unfortunately clear is not.

Supplied by Auto windscreens on 01268 531133. Although they share the same name I do not think they are part of the main group which quoted me Ł217!! Don't know how helpful that will be in scotland but may be worth a punt SAS.

Most second hand ones I have ever had have broken elements and as people still want a premium for them is it worth the hassle of fitting and then finding its toast?

 

Just find where you can buy one and fit it yourself its a piece of piss matey
