Know how you feel.

I replaced a windscreen for the MOT due to a crack, and then literally 3 days later, some tosser chucked a traffic cone through the new windscreen. Insurance company thought I was having a laugh, 2 windscreens in 3 days!

It works for tyres too. I paid the best part of £150 for a new Pirelli, and within a week drove over a 3" screw that instantly deflated it. By the time I was able to stop, I'd damaged the sidewall so that was it... had I left got the tyre a week later, the screw would have destroyed the old bald one!

At least windscreens are covered by most insurance policies. frown
