Replacement Windscreen

[Duncan]

So I cracked the windscreen on the stagea on Friday (must not have liked that cold night in Goulburn....I sure didn't).

Who have people used for a replacement? Do the usual suspects carry them?

I had no problem getting one installed for 180 in adelaide.

Obriens wanted over 400 I think.

I was a local place . Complete windscreens. Only one in sa I think.

The fact the could do it so cheap really surprised me. So there is hope for you!

Daina got one under insurance thru Shannon's and pretty sure it was O'Briens.

Possibly worth trying Manie's 0408255548

They replaced the R33's windscreen at short notice and for a fair price compared to the majors.

Thanks guys, I sorted a local place to do it. The screens are readily available

Nice one. Hae many dollars?

Ranged from 240 to 480 (which is a bit weird)....job's not done yet so no comment on the quality...but I figure a screen's a screen. I bet they all use the same supplier

As long as they take their time removing the old screen, and don't gouge paint off everywhere around the frame.

Also, if you can leave the car undriven for a day or so, while the sealant cures;it will always be better.

I have used both cheap and expensive windscreen and there is a difference, i used shannons windscreen cover to get an O'Briens done and the service was excellent and the glass was nice and clear. I also used a discount windscreen mob for an older car I had and the quality of the glass was terrible, I think you get what you pay for with this sort of work.

I ended up getting a local mob, complete windscreens to do it. quick, cheap, no obvious damage afterwards. was about $250.

I have lost my windscreen wiper heaters now though....gonna be a major issue if all the scientists are wrong and we get hit with global cooling.

Most car parts seem to be cheaper here but not windscreens. Cost me $800 for a replacement last time - they did get the right tint. They offered the choice of the heater elements but for an extra $200 I gave it a miss (bit sorry now its winter!).
