Cracked Windscreen

[Billytheclio]

I was doing about 60 in a 60 limit and a stone flew up and cracked my windscreen, it's right in eyes view and i find myself staring at it when i'm driving!! what do i do about getting a new un??

Ring your insurance company up and tell them you need a new windscreen, it'll cost you £50/60 (your windscreen excess) but it won't affect your NCB (double check when you ring them tho)

If it's repairable they will repair it, which is usually free.

Cheers Al, it's only small it's like a shooting star!!!

 

[al]

Might be able to repair it then

If its a proper crack and not a chip it will need replacing . Plus if its in your line of vision its an MOT fail .

Yeah it is bang in front of me, it's defo a crack not a chip!! fooking stones!!!

I had mine replaced last week. I think that's my third in two years. Cost me £50 XS on my insurance.

 

[MRBILLYUK]

I'd get it changed asap , if another stone hits it it could crack right across . As said , get on the blower to your insurance company , its only usually about £50 - £60 excess .

Only an MOT fail if its larger than 2cm or some think like that and inline of vision.

 

[MRBILLYUK]

Any damage must be no larger than 10mm in the drivers line of vision :

I have a chip in the very top right of the drivers side of the windscreen that is about 10mm. Its at the very top right where those black bits are at the very edge of the screen. Anybody know if this is an MOT fail as have to get it done before the start of Jan.

Check the diagram on the website in my previous post . I would assume that autoglass have more idea than all the MOT testers on here , lol

or you could ring up autoglass and get it done free

Make sure they refit the trim properly.

Mine wasn't and part of it flew off at high speed. Not before slapping my driver's window hard, me crapping myself and then having to leg it back for it and refit it myself.
