Cracked screen after trying to fix water leak..

[ashley_2012]

Hi,
After attempting to remove my window wipers to try see if the drainage holes are blocked I managed to smash my window after following a picture on here of someone trying to lever them off.

Does anyone know how much around about the window will cost to replace on a 182 as I don't have windscreen cover.

Thanks

£££ if you have the rain sensors!!

If you just go for a basic screen, we paid £117 last week fitted inc vat.

LOL, sorry. I had a screen fitted on my old 306 for £50 cash, would imagine a 182 will be £150+

for a proper rain sensored one ie with the sensor on the screen an uv tint your talking about £250 i think i was quoted ! never had mine done just had a chip repaired , best thing you can do is ring about !!

I did this on my last car, rang insurance added w-screen cover then claimed 3 weeks later.

Don't cry at me, couldn't care less.

That bloody photo! I nearly followed that photo but then realised it would probably go wrong as above. Ouch.

You have to be a bit of a special breed to try and lever something against a sheet of glass.

What exactly were you expecting to happen? ?

The whole idea sounds mental tbh!

Had mine replaced on the 1.2 for 170 (rain sensor too) ring around local windscreen fitters. Autoglass wanted 400 and that was with "discount" lol...

Stupid car

To be fair when I cracked mine, it pressed on the scuttle panel near the bottom. The screens go down under the top of the scuttle a lot further than you'd think.

Exactly right, I didn't realise the windscreen went down that far under the scuttle panel. Well thats a mistake I won't be making again lol

on my old clio i was quoted £100 fitted for a new screen, £200 if i wanted the auto lights and wipers. my auto stuff didnt work anyway so i took the cheaper option

Screen without rain sensor in pale blue =

Screen "with" rain sensor in pale blue =

There is also fitting kit & Seal kit that are listed for the windscreens as well as a regulating block thats needed.

Pick up a screen at the local scrap yard?
Then get someone to remove it and put it in your car?

Cost me £20 for the windscreen and then £50 to remove and fit. Jobs a good one.

Sorry but I cant help but laugh at you using a bar on your windscreen. Use a puller tool to pull the wipers off of the shaft.

Surely just ring your insurance and pay the 70 quid excess ??
