cracked windscreen,need replacement,autoglass any good?

Post by hogggman » Sun Mar 29, 2009 5:16 pm

hi,
we just noticed a crack in our front windscreen today.right in the bottom passenger side corner.looks like it can`t be fiixed.has anyone used autoglass for a replacement?do they have them in stock?can`t immediately lay my hands on my insurance documents-will look later-but does anyone know the windscreen excess with lifesure?i think i`ve seen £60 mentioned on here,but i thought mine might be £100.
thanks
jamie
