Delorean / Esprit windscreen

[Rich Hanlon]

Can you hang fire until after I've renewed my ins in Aug in that case? :lol:

lol - Flopsy's old windscreen cracked, and Uroglass supplied Autoglass with a new one, complete
with inbuilt antenna (correct for my vin) - we're lucky though, we've got no excess on windscreens
on our insurance (got a Trade and Classic policy to cover all 9 of our cars), so my new screen cost nowt

sorry, i'm not into claiming on insurance. the more people that do it, the more it rises.

I had to buy mine because it was badly cracked when I bought it....long before it was mot able.

There's a reason why insuracne companies exempt windscreens from the standard policy and allow you to claim without affecting your no-claims. It's becuase it's in their interest for you to be able to see where you're going.... and anyone through no fault of their own can get a cracked windscreen at any time.

[RobScott]

yeah but the cost has got to come frome somewhere, the excess is say, £50, your whole policy is £250, but the replacement of a screen costs £500...... still makes policy prices go up.

But as its likely to happen to all of us at some point, the cost will average out over time

[RobScott]

costs never average out if everyone takes advantage, even when they shouldnt.

If everyone took advantage when they shouldn't, it would average out
