Jim - looked on our system today

With maximum discount applied (30% off, usually reserved for AA members only) a non heated screen would be Ł425 supplied and fitted, and a heated one would be Ł508

So Ł325 is about right (guessing it's non heated?) but you could have it done a LOT cheaper than that if you go to a private company, not like Autoglass or RAC Autowindscreens who charge top dollar - smaller companies trip over themselves to undercut prices, so you could get it done for less than Ł250 I should think....

There should be something in the contract I would think that says you pay an excess for the screen replacement - not the whole thing!
