Has anyone had to replace their windscreen? How much did it cost and are they easy to source?

yes its been done many times.

Sourcing doesn't seam to be too big a problem but prices vary so look around.

Its a professional job due to the way its fitted

seem to be at least two different colour tints, green & brown & there are some lurking about with a larger sunstrip across the top too.
Did a quick search using "windscreen and repalcement" & came up with http://www.igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/forum/ ... mit=Search If the answers not there, try a few different wording options in the search facility, this one does seem to come up fairly often, good luck getting it sorted :D

Thanks again everyone. I know I should do a search before asking a question but it's the interaction that I enjoy not the searching.

Got mine done through my insurance (lifesure) cost 60 pounds. I think it was autowindscreens that did it.

Whilst driving along the M80 today a large object hit my windscreen. It has left a large spider web effect of over 2 feet in diameter, so I've had to go to my local Autoglass who are installing the screen tomorrow. It's only costing me £60 so I cant complain, and its forced me to get my finger out and get the screen done.

Thanks again for all the advice
