Interesting windscreen dilemma!

[R20 CWH]

Got a stone chip, asked for a new windscreen as i thought the chip was quite bad and a few spider legs.

Got told it was repairable (even though I said on the phone it was a inch wide) guy turns up, whooft, ill give it a go

and...........

its filled it in, but spider legs and chip still noticeable, so waste of £10 excess and now needs to get a windscreen.

Moral of story - just replace the thing!!! The advert on tv for windscreen repair is misleading, as its really noticeable even after resin injection.

So my advice - always get a new windscreen!

yeh but the resin injection method is to prevent the crack from increasing in size not to make it invisible.

I had mine repaired over a year ago it was free, and the crack hasn't got any bigger..... so I'm more then happy with my windscreen repair.

i have 2 little chips about an inch up. whats the company you used? how much is it if you cant use your insurance?

 

[Chris_Cliomk1]

Autoglass is what the majority use mate.

 

[R20 CWH]

yeh AG, the guy to be fair said it would leave the spider marks.

its covered it and repaired it, but ill be getting the whole lot replaced at some point.

it was a £10 er so not a huge deal.

You should have got a hammer and made it bigger

Should have just put a brick through it, would have saved you the hassle!

You should have got a hammer and made it bigger

Indeed - Always use some hammer and centre punch action just before they arrive just in case ......

sounds like a shxx fitter to me

^ y?! if the cracks repairable then they wont replace the windscreen, how does that make him s**t?

I had one done by Rac a while ago and it's barely noticable, Glad he could repair it though as the windscreen he brought was the wrong one
