New Windscreen - Cheapest in Bristol?

[neil_cardiff]

Morning All,

Having now found out from my insurers that since changing the policy for my newer Golf, they have now changed the policy terms as they are underwritten by Royal Bank of Scotland.

This means, where previously I had additional windscreen cover on a TPFT policy, I now no longer have it.

Thing is I'm thinking of getting the windscreen changed as there is quite a few chips on it now, and wondered whether anyone knew of anywhere which is v cheap for glass?

Cheers

Neil

Not Chrchill, is it?

Didn't want to name and shame (nothing really to shame I suppose) but yes

Suprised they are competitive for you - seems to be their target market is a generation older...

Anyway, back on topic - Don't know about price (was done on the insurance) but Autoglass did a 1st rate job on the side window of my Alfa when some chav smashed it looking for the stereo.

Have you tried a breakers?

Churchill actually surprise me every time I get a renewal - the Mk3 was £25 cheaper to insure than the Mk2!

Anyhow, I've always been happy with them, and they won me the accident I had a couple of years ago (stupid bint did a unannouced U-Turn in front of me) so I'm not complaining.

Either way, I can wait til next year for the renewal to change to Fully Comp and then get the Glass Cover, but I was just wondering whether anyone knew of an independant of something. The windscreen isn't that bad, and it went through the MOT when I brought it so can't be all that bad.

I was gonna try a breakers, but I've heard that the Mk3's have a special seal that needs to be replaced - so may be worth getting it properly fitted.

Will try Autoglass though...

Neil,
Steve at Bristol body glass fitted a new screen in the TVR. Did a fantastic job, and not too expensive either. The telephone number eludes me, but he is in the yellow pages.
Top recommend.
Regards,
Mike.
