Hi All,

Just wondered if anyone has experience of changing a windscreen on a 570?

I have a small crack at the bottom but guess it will grow. Is it simply a case of phoning insurance (it does have cover) and they will fit it on the drive at home, or does it have to be fitted by McLaren if it's a difficult job?

Thanks for any info!

My friend had one done on his 650S and from memory the screen was purchased from McLaren but fitted by a local screen fitter. As I remember the front clam needed to be partially stripped for access....

Had the screen replaced on my 570s. I let my dealer sort it out, Admiral insurance, absolutely no problem.

Straight forward job £25 on insurance excess and no issue with NCB via autoglass, just check its OEM although I think its impossible/ very hard to get a patent part anyway.

Screen prices are ridiculous, x 10 your mainstream car costs
