URGENT R30 windscreen needed.

[machg]

Help,

Had the windscreen in my HR30 Passage smashed by something falling of a TOLL garbage truck today. Because whatever it was didn't actually smash through the screen and injure me those lovely people at TOLL won't pay a cent. Does anyone have a screen for an R30? This car is my daily driver and I need it to get to work. Any help greatly appreciated.

your windscreen is still stuffed though, why should the degree of damage dictate whether or not they are at fault? Sounds like you are being fobbed off. I wouldn't leave it at that. Report it to police, it's a reportable accident, then let TOLL try and argue their way out of it. Threaten to take it to small claims, if that fails to a newspaper or TV show etc.

Went to police, as recovering the object that struck me was impossible, the police said that I have no proof that the object came from the truck. The chances of it being a rock kicked up from the sealed main road would have to be 1 in a million, but if it went to court, they could argue that there's still that chance. Thankfully managed to find a second hand screen in Launceton, so hopefully, I'll get out of this for not too much $$$$. Does anyone know a good cheap windscreen installer?

So, is yours the two tone R30 with passage GT etc badges on it? I saw it parked in hobart (in the brick carpark next to the big argyle one) and was wondering if it was a tarted up local one or an import... Hard luck on the windscreen, at least its the same as the local one, right?

Yeah,

Thats my car, don't look too close at the paint. The black is my first attempt at spraying, and it aint to flash! :Oops: Anyway hopefully it will have a new screen tomorrow.

yeh nice, i had one ages ago and yep there is plenty at wreckers in launceston..

passage GT? didn't know they were called that?

[machg]

I don't know when "Passage" started, but I'm pretty sure that "Passage" is Nissan {Skyline} for four doors. I've got a mate in NSW with and R31 Passage and its a four door too.

As far as I know the Passage GT model designation was new for the 4 door pillarless HR31. I'd say someone added the badges on the HR30 - it is a HR30, not a local MR30?
