So got two rather large cranks in windcreen now, one drivers side about 3/4 inchs long, and second which is making a nice S type shape which goes up about 1/4 of the screen 

According to insurance blurb, can go with either of the above as they are on the 'approved' list.

Are they the same? Worth going for one of the other?  :-/

[hoofing it]

autoglass, done mine through insurance i got the blue tint one.
the very nice chap even buffed of the rust behind the rubber and treated it for me

I`d give them both a bell see if you can blag the heat reflective tinted screen off one of `em

Some years ago Autoglass put a new screen in my old Omega estate and it was fine so I would recommend them.

Not sure i'd want heat reflective due to it being poor for GPS reception  :-/

Yes, they dropped the RAC bit because they were being recognised as shite.....but they have not moved the depots, changed the staff or changed the search engine results!

Hence....shite, [size=14]shite,[/size] [size=18]shite,[/size] [size=20]shite,[/size] [size=24]shite,[/size]

Did I mention that auto windscreens were not very good?

 i think we got the gist of it..

Autowindscreens were OK down here... Not ideal, but OK. When the rubber trim did finally work loose after about a year I called them up and they re-fitted it under warranty. In fact, I told the guy it wouldn't be the end of the world if the screen broke as he removed it because I had a couple of chips so it was replaced FOC

That said... The majority of others on here seem to have had a bad experience so I'd avoid them

I had FIVE bad experiences with them.....all due to incompitent fitters, sub standard training and poor quality parts.

Its only when they finaly used genuine parts that it became acceptable (but far from good)
