Default Windscreen Replacement

Hey fellas,

A tiny chip in my windscreen decided to spider into a 20cm crack when i left my car out in the sun yesterday. Just seeing if anyone might have one from a front cut or maybe know someone in the replacement business as I really don't need this to get too expensive, having just forked out for new DBA4000's and Ferodo DS2500's .
The cars a MY00 btw.

Cheers
Brent

Yeah checked with Just Car, they want me to pay an excess to get it replaced so I'm thinking itll work out cheaper to get it fixed myself.

Tell just car that you will change insurer to HBF, see what they say.

I bought my wrx and when it arrived from east it had cracked windscreen , i got car insured through hbf and they fixed it free without stuffing up my no claim bonus

You will have issues getting hold of a 2nd hand one. Extremely difficult to get them out without breaking them. I use Howies Windscreens / WA Machinery Glass in south guildford for all our stuff at work and they have been very good.
