Default BMW E36 Coupe Replacement windscreen

Anyone recommend a place to replace both screen on my son's 1998 BMW E36 Coupe?

Two of the local yoofs helpfully chucked a couple of vodka bottles through both screen last night so consequently, we're unexpectedly in the market for new ones.

The car's only insured TPFT so don't think we can make a claim to replace them (probably wouldn't be worth it anyway once the excess has been taken away).

We're in the Reading area so any recommendations to who can fit one at a reasonable price in this area would be good

Have you checked your insurance to see if it has glass cover?
Had my screen replaced this week by autoglass, Ł75 excess.
You only pay 1 excess even tho you need 2 screens.

Matt -LHD220 turbo sorted everything for me, but we are in swindon

Seems to be sorted. The yoof's mum's been down and apologised and offered to pay for damages
It seems a night in the cells for said yoof, seems to have loosened his tongue and he's fessed up to doing it and dobbed his mate in as well!!

Even better then. I had similar once when i lived at bradford on avon, woke one night to the sound of loads of voices, and a bang. Looked out the window and in a street full of cars a bunch of lads were carrying a massive trampoline down the road and out of all the cars they managed to smash my wing mirror off.

Armed with a torqe wrench i got i pn the car and drove around till i found them, made a scene shouting and swearing and got the lads phone number and address. He said he would call in the morning to sort it. Was his 18th and tbh he didnt seem a bad lad.

But i couldnt get hold of him the next day till late in the evening as it turned out he too had spent a night in the cells.

He paid up with no issues and a few months later i saw him out and bought him a pint to say no hard feelings lol.
