WANTED: Windscreen in perfect condition.

[goz_83]

The d/side of my windscreen has scuff marks, which were caused at some stage, I assume by the wiper arm scraping the window. There are also a couple of little minor chips, which wouldn't bother me, but the scuffs do get on my nerves. I won't be looking for a new windscreen, so was wondering if anyone has one in perfect condition, or if anyone knows if my windscreen can be repaired, so that I can't see the scuffs, that would be even better.

I will also be in need of d/side rear disc heat shield....possible on the p/side too...have to check. The d/side one is badly rusted and has a gash ripped out from rust.

Get wind screen cover on your insurance cover and just replace it.
I doesn't effect your insurance or no claims. Think its just €10 extra on your policy

[goz_83]

Yeah, I just didn't wanna be dishonest about it. I should add the cover I suppose.

[StewyD32]

Get a stone an f*ck it at your window
It's classed as stone damage

Anyway nowhere does it say you can't preplace a perfectly good wind screen

[goz_83]

I may already have it. will have to check. I am fully comp, but with Quinn....it means very little.

When I was with Quinn, I just called out a mobile window repair place, I had windscreen cover and they just took down my policy number replaced the window and that was that, no extras on my policy and still had my NCB.

[goz_83]

I don't have w/screen cover. Its an extra with Quinn. I am usually fully comp with other insurers and w/scree cover is standard most of the time. With Quinn, it's not and I have to wait for renewal to get the cover. I would have the cover even if my screen was perfect, but unfortunately I don't have the cover. Had it on the van with Axa last year. The screen was in need of some tlc, so I called the window repair place and they then advised I get the screen replaced, rather than cover up the chips, which was cost prohibitive. I only had to pay the VAT, which I claimed back anyway

Why don't you see if they will just polish out - they are probably just superficial marks and not deep scratches.

[goz_83]

They're deep enough to not be polished out and cover most of the the way down the drivers side of the screen. The other little chip marks around the screen are a bit annoying. I'm sure i'm the only one that sees them, but knowing they're there is enough.

My old e36 bmw had a windscreen like that, driving on a summers evening was a nightmare if you were going to be driving in the direction of the sun. Was like the windscreen was filthy but it wasn't.
In the end someone put a brick through the window which was fairly lucky for me as I had exhausted all routes to repairing it.
You can polish glass but scratches you can feel with your nail can't be buffed out.

[holio]

Also, I tried getting a new windscreen for my e36, can't remember but was in or around the 600 euro mark.
For some reason I was never able to find a second hand one but with new fto's being broken monthly you should hopefully find one.

[goz_83]

It's not something I need to rush. I will get the windscreen cover when renewing. I might get the window replaced before that, but if not, I will call the repair guys to see what can be done.
