Windscreen Cracked!

[Longy]

I have a big crack in it off a flying stone Do I just take it to the main Renault dealer and get them to sort it or ring autoglass etc?

I'm with directline insurance and it is covered on the policy.

Or do I have to ring insurance people?

Cheers

If you're fully comp, then just ring autoglass. They should come and fix it/replace it, and they'll sort it all out with your insurance company. Shouldn't affect your no claims either.

What that man said.

Ring AutoGlass. They will come replace it/fix it... All you need to do is show them your Cert. of insurance and they will claim from the insurance company. It doesnt affect your ncb.

Will they replace it like for like? I've notice we have the reflective UV film in t?

 

[skinner]

Probably not. Mine is the same colour etc, but missing the gear sticker and is made by some pikey company.

Direct line like you to deal with Autoglass or Auto windscreens. Usually a £60 excess.

Might be worth calling them and asking.

Best mate works for RAC Auto Windscreens.

He says they all know about the different screens, should come up on their system but wouldn't hurt to mention when calling.

I'm trying to get a 172 Cup screen as apparently it's lighter!

Had mine fiited a few months back.

Remember after its fitted you can't drive the car for 3 hours, as the bond needs to set...

i have had 2 new screens in my 182, the first was like the renault screen although not made by the same company and the second was a little different as the clear window at the bottom of the screen started from the bottom and went up so wasn't a window as such, again made by another manufacturer.

As long as it has the UV coating then accept it, when i did mine with them i was asked if it was the version with the coating or not as they obviously do the version without for the 172 cup, might be worth ringing them to make a note of that.

So how did it work out?

Autoglass came and changed mine on Friday and made a mess of it. It has a 2mm gap down the drivers side. Now they have to refit it.
