Have used genuine and erm others. Genuine are the best but I prefer still to use a bead around anyway. Better safe than sorry

[05omegav6]

Hmmm...

[davieboy0312]

In my experience preventing a trim blowing off immaterial of genuine or not is better than getting a bad reputation or no bonus that month

[05omegav6]

Sticking things on that don't require it when fitted correctly suggests that the poor reputation is wholly justified, especially if done for bonus purposes

Not that I am paying a penny for it, but at this rate, my insurers won't be paying for it either... So far it has cost Autoglass three screens and four visits, and they still haven't completed the job.

And reputation purposes. Even gm genuine trims on a gm genuine screen where bad for falling off or letting go of the rubber strip.

Clearly not fitted properly then...

I think your just annoyed at autoglass and there antics. Been doing this job years al never had a problem with omegas or anything else for that matter.

Just think when I needed a screen. For omega same as yours too. Heat reflective, top tint with a sensor. With a full set of trims I had it all done in 3 days. No bad if I say so myself

At least try have come back to to yours, my trim came off shortly after a new screen and they are not interested.

Looking at it, the screen is very low in the recess so suspect any trim won't clip in

Had Autoglass fit a screen in a Mazda 626 a few years back, they damaged  trim that the wipers were mounted on & sealant was oozing out all around the screen, I was very unhappy with the job & contacted my insurance company to inform of the awful mess my car was in.Within a couple of hours one of the managers from Autoglass  contacted me & arranged to inspect the car, he called the work an absolute abortion & was fuming as the fitter had been warned about the standard of his workmanship before.To their credit they purchased new trim & made a superb job of refitting the screen properly .

They have no choice to come back or not... Customer Services manager is on the case, hence two vans to fit one screen rubber

They are going to do a.....remove & refit  One in & one out .   And the trims Should go on the screen before they sling it in

They won't chance removing it without a Justincase screen handy...

Had a screen replaced on my estate by RAC auto windscreens. They removed as car was in bodyshop to have rust removed from scren apature caused by Autoglass scrathing al the paintoff two years previously. They then failed to turn up on three occasions to fit new, then causing car to run out of mot. This was just before a christmas. Insurance company instructed me to find another company who then fited scren day after contact. Still cold not get car mot,ed before christmas as dvla had shut down the system for upgrade. RAC had to pay for a hire car for me for five days over the festive period until mot stations were operating again. Got the mot fee refunded by them and a week later they went bust

Sounds not dissimilar to my experience, Keith  . Though I managed to get the bus in to work etc, I haven't contacted my insurers re: getting any form of financial compen etc, and not sure whether I should. One of them 'just forget about it, life's too short' moments? Or would a couple of hundred actually help massively with car repairs etc? Two minds...

If you don't tell them that their subcontractors are making such a mess then they can't do anything about it
