Retroanaconda Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 That's really only a question your insurance company can answer, I suggest you give them a ring! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKEYCOPPER Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 on my insurance i just pay the excess, weather its stone chip repair or replacement, and it dont count as a claim, worth checking your insurance tho as glass cover may or may not be included and if it is the excess due. paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 On the pug, it meant just paying the windscreen excess of about 70 Squid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtydiesel Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Unless your screen is heated, i think you'd be cheaper to get the screen done yourself. Auto-windscreens charged me £80 for a defender screen fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbs Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Or you could go to your local glazing company and get them to cut one out of 6mm laminated glass, and fit it yourself-there is a link on here somewhere that i can't seem to find at the mo, My last one cost me the princely sum of £43.00 and took me about 45 minutes to do as i was being careful with it.

GBMUD Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Or you could go to your local glazing company and get them to cut one out of 6mm laminated glass, Though strictly speaking I think you should have an 'e' mark on the screen.

jules Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Have you ever been asked if you had a windscreen replace, I havent and my disco had three it didn't affect mine. If you had three in the same year it might be a little iffy. I had a result we changed the screen on a 110 and when asked if it was heated we said yes and then when fitted I bought a wiring kit and now my 1991 110 has a heated screen. (the misses checked and there was no extra charge) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazelle Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Just had mine done yesterday through the NFU. Next day service by Autoglass. The policy states "Claims for the following will not affect your no claims discount:: b) repairing or replacing broken glass in the car's windscreen, windows, or sunroof......"

Chris They did etch it with some kind of mark-I'm not anywhere near the truck at the mo to take a look at what they etched into it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every insurer I have been with say it doesn't effect your NCB but sure as hell can effect the renewal premium!!! A windscreen claim is a claim....it costs the insurer money..... so if you change insurer, you are required to disclose it to the new one.
