Well, had a new screen fitted just over a week ago by RAC windscreens.

Inspected it properly yesterday (I have not been using that car).

1) The rubber seals at both top corners of the screen no longer make contact with the metal work.

2) There is damage to the bottom NS of the screen as if its been dropped before fitting.

3) When you start the car the engine noise is obviously higher, drive the car (50+) and you get wind noise along the bottom edge!

So its a crap job!

Phoned customer services today and I am awaiting a call from the local branch (in Nottingham)


Do you want me to have a word with my mates at Autoglass ;D ;D ;D ;D

whilst in the workshop one of the RAC transits was started whilst in gear, it lurched forward smashing itself into the back of the omega, that inturn was pushed so far forward it caught the racking, pulled it all down on top of the car so ruining it.

the upshot is the are going to put you in a brand new car of your choice upto the value of 30k, however you must never utter a word of this and you must sing the praises of RAC autoglass for ever
