Original Windscreen

Suspect · Sep 17, 2020

Hello people ,

I need to replace my windscreen and have had. Abit of aball ache with my insurances preferred window suppliers ( National Wndscreens )

first last week they sent the wrong tint (a bronze colour windscreen) which I refused.
I was told I need to pay upfront to get a genuine Renault one which I did finally.
Today the screen arrived and it had a slight blue tint but not as blue as my previously fitted screen

I need to know if this picture is thecorrect item for my 182 2004 plate clio

Thats correct how much did you pay for it?

Suspect · Sep 17, 2020

How do you know it’s correct ???

Suspect · Sep 17, 2020

It doesn’t even look as blue as my one on the car currently the last image is the damaged one as I refused the windscreen

I need to know if them pictures with the codes are correct

Suspect · Sep 17, 2020

this is the glass they came with but the blue is not obvious

clio tyres · Sep 17, 2020

There is only one windscreen avalible from renault with auto wiper sensor hole and blue.
Colour = Pale blue 7701066905

Suspect · Sep 17, 2020

Correct.....

the new windscreen they turned up with is no where as blue as the cracked one on the car at the moment so I turned it down thinking it is not original

What does the 43R-000056 mean ???
The one I have on the car right now is so much more blue- er than this replacement they want to fit on

ilovewilly · Sep 17, 2020

This was very informative cheers mate ,

I guess the the windscreen is correct then for my 182 ???
Just realised the damaged one I currently have on the car was a rac windscreen so maybe that’s why it’s more blue than the original they came with today

I guess I have to call them back and accept it

Ive got a rac one in my 182 very blue like you say.
Think i will get another if the genuine is like a green house.

JamesBryan · Sep 17, 2020

Blue solar screen with the rectangle cut out in the centre just above the dash is correct.

Suspect · Sep 17, 2020

I defo think the RAC one that is on the car is more blue than the original Renault windscreen

JamesBryan · Sep 17, 2020

Probably is a different shade of blue.

My replacement was a Pilkington one i think.

Suspect · Sep 17, 2020

This is confusing if the correct code is 7701066905 why is there different tints of blue

JamesBryan · Sep 17, 2020

Different manufacturers.

Suspect · Sep 17, 2020

I’m guessing this is a splintex one based on the badge

Are they original or they pulling my leg

Amos91 · Sep 17, 2020

My original 182 screen. 140k miles on it somehow

Martin_172 · Sep 17, 2020

I bet they love you kicking up fuss for a genuine windscreen then refusing it

The windscreen supplied is correct, it may not be the same manufacturer as the original when the car was made but it will be the correct part manufactured by whoever was doing Renaults glass at the time it was ordered by them

Personally, it wouldn't be the glass that would concern me - but the fitment.

Done wrong, you can get water ingress and potential corrosion at the top of the A-pillars. Unfortunately there's no way to vouch for that, other than the reputation of the fitter.

Mine is still the original glass and under hazy sun, the pitting on the glass is awful. If I could guarantee that the fitment would be spot on, I'd replace it - but I'd rather just put up with it for now.

MRBILLYUK · Sep 18, 2020

This is my original windscreen. Almost the same numbers as Amos except mine has a 5 he has a 4?

The windscreen is correct for your 182 in the fact it will fit the hole and take the sensor. The tint your seeing on your factory screen is a solar tint, these aren't avaliable anymore as a genuine Renault screen, or at least not through our suppliers.

Suspect · Sep 18, 2020

I’m just going to get it fitted now . Thanks for all your replies boys. Keep safe

d19wood · Sep 20, 2020

If you decide not to have it fitted, send them my way please. I've been waiting nearly a month now for Autoglass to replace mine

Suspect · Sep 20, 2020

How much auto glass charging you for a original windscreen

DomP182 · Sep 20, 2020

Bloody hell! I want a new windscreen now. Can I get mine done through insurance if it's an advisory on my mot?

I think you do not have to justify why you want it done but saying that mine got a 20 cm crack that is unmissable

DomP182 · Sep 20, 2020

Brick!

Louis · Sep 20, 2020

Mines a pilkington and its proper blue

Cub. · Sep 20, 2020

The windscreen being a different colour is the least of your troubles going by the colour of the front bumper.....

Hit the chip from the inside of the screen, will make a nice crack! They are roughly £185 outside insurance just as a point of reference

Just need to check my cover with Greenlight, not sure if windscreens come covered as standard

£70 through Greenlight insurance. Got a call this afternoon to say they're taking delivery of the glass on 25th and will fit next Monday So hopefully don't send me an ape to fit it and do a good job

They will replace with a new screen as long as the damage isn't repairable i.e. crack larger than a £2 coin or so it says on the Autoglass site

Maybe for the base model not for a 182 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-...304825?hash=item2897131ff9:g:7ooAAOSw2k5d1oJX

I meant for a pattern one in all honesty and that's fitted, genuine screen is £119 at cost to me.
