Cracked Windscreen (complicated case) - Help?

If there's been a large dollop in one spot, it can create a pressure point. As the car expands and contracts during the day and night, the screen will flex on this point and eventually it can go as it has done.

I'd even suspect that there's something more solid on the flange or ledge underneath (perhaps even a shard of the previous glass?), and because of not preparing the job properly the fitter then used this extra xealant to try to fill in a gap.

I've never heard of an insurance policy without windscreen cover (except ofcourse Third Party Only), it's usually an excess of £50 and it will not affect your premium or your no claims.

What Insurance company are you with and what level of cover have you got?

Majority of TPF&T policies don't cover windscreens. That's usually a perk of comprehensive cover



I had a windscreen crack - it had been hit by a stone, but no visible damage. OH took the car to work, left it sitting in the sun all day, then put the air con on full blast on the way home :rolleyes:

That's what I meant any TP policy

Unfortunately my TPF&T insurance doesn't cover windscreens - it was a tick box option for only a small amount, but I was broke at the time so skimped on it. Lesson learnt, next time I will be getting windscreen cover.
