Seifer Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Hey guys, just wondering if anyone knew what sort of money i'd be looking at for a new front screen?? My one got damaged while being removed for a respray. I've been quoted £200 for a second hand one from Jezzybabes, but if the price of a new one is'nt crazy I might go for one. Any info would be much appreciated. Cheers Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JODY T Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Damaged? where? Also Dave, Jezzy is coming here on moday, you could add that as itll save postage and you can collect... Just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Have you got breakdown cover? Most of them will replace a windscreen for £50. And if you havent got it it'll only cost you about £40 so you'll get a yrs breakdown cover for the same price as a new screen!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Look at your windsceen cover on your insurance!! I had mine replaced last month and it only cost me £40.00. Got a nice blue sun visor type thingy too. This does NOT affect your claims history either. I ended up with a genuine OEM one too!! H.

Seifer Posted June 2, 2007 Author Share Posted June 2, 2007 It was removed yesterday along with the rear screen. The guy broke it taking it out. He said there was a chance of it happening, I just hoped it wouldn't. He's gonna get me a price for a new screen on tuesday, I jus wanted to know if anyone knew what sort of money they were beforehand as my wallet is a bit nervous! Damaged? where?

Seifer Posted June 2, 2007 Author Share Posted June 2, 2007 Just had a check through my insurance documents an unfortunately i'm not covered for winscreen damage. Good idea though! Look at your windsceen cover on your insurance!! I had mine replaced last month and it only cost me £40.00. Got a nice blue sun visor type thingy too. This does NOT affect your claims history either. I ended up with a genuine OEM one too!! H. Have to look into breakdown cover! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 So someone else damaged your screen & you gotta pay, is that standard procedure for sprayers? im not being sarcy its a honest question. I must admit after seeing the work that was done on mine I can't see how you can get it out in one piece tbh!! They are really well glued in and if it has been in for a while then I wouldn't fancy trying to get it out without cracking it!! Use your insurance cover mate!! EDIT!! SEEN YOUR POST......!! H.

Seifer Posted June 2, 2007 Author Share Posted June 2, 2007 It wasn't the sprayer that took the screen out, he contracted the work out to a friend of his. I did a cash deal with him and the screen ended up breaking. Serves me right I guess, was trying to save money. I could have paid a lot more for him to remove the screen with insurance as well but.......I like to live dangerously;) So someone else damaged your screen & you gotta pay, is that standard procedure for sprayers? im not being sarcy its a honest question.

brettjones Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 sounds like thats your best way to go or just up your insurance to cover glass and wait a week or two and then make a claim no one from your insur company will come out they just give you a contact number and tell the fitter a stone went thought it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
