Smashed Windscreen. Need A New One To Suit 34

[slinky-minky]

Someone I know got frustrated with my P plate falling down off my windscreen, and attempted to force it to stay up but smacked my windscreen with there knuckles, now I have a huge crack that starts in my passenger side top (where the P plate sits) down to my rego label (Bottom passenger side)

Can't be fixed as it's a 'spider web crack' not a chip. Is slowly getting larger. Been told it'll take 7-14 days to get one in Bendigo as they don't keep them on hand (unlike the commo's and falcons)

Question is:

1) does any one know someone good and cheapish in the western suburbs (pref St Albans/Sunshine/Cairlea ect) that I can get it done at?

2)Will an R34 take another windscreen? I've heard they'll take a Ford Falcon windscreen...true/false?

Cheers

Shape is different to fords so don't know how they can fit. Also if I'm correct the r34 has the antenna for the radio in the windscreen. So it will cost about $400? Call some wreckers

[paulr33]

check if your insurance covers this, a lot of policies include a replacement windscreen

O'briens has them normally. They also come onsite to fix them for roughly $650 as I recall. So thats remove, new window mould and etc.

I believe the R34 has it's antenna is in the rear windscreen

As for replacement, I've gotten mine done in Dandenong, Roy's Windscreen I think, it cost me $220 and it took them less than 30mins.

I wouldnt be going to O briens unless every other windscreen place in australia had shut down.. the prices they charge should come with a complimentary BJ.. they don't even supply lube for their butt hurt prices

Try National Windscreens on 9379 7922. Dealt with them before. Decent prices and supply to the western suburbs as well.

Also make sure you specify sedan or coupe, I think they "could" be different.

[slinky-minky]

Yep; sure is. I found out they are a smidge different (nothing you'd see with a naked eye so I've been told)

Most quotes are around 250-275 for sedan

[Charles89]

For coupes is similar. Maybe ask to pay cash to lower the price
