stone hit my windowscreen and made a small dint/crack !!

christopher_h

Hi,

I was driving along minding my own business the other day when I suddenly heard a loud crack on the windowscreen and a stone had hit it and left a small crack/dent.

Does anyone know if it's possible to have it repaired as opposed to paying for a full screen replacement ?

Thanks in advance.

theres normaly always a free windscreen repair chap at our local asda AND tescos.

its done through the insurance but its not meant to affect your claim.? ?

The 'free windscreen repair' is usually only free if you are fully comp.

I think if its a chip it can be fixed but if its cracked (spiders legs look to it) then its a new windscreen job, On most insurance policies its £50 excess for a new screen which is a dam sight cheaper than buying on out your own pocket. I dont think new windscreens affect no claims bonuses either but not 100% sure on that.

While you are sorting out a repair - put some sellotape over the hole to stop any water getting in.
My insurance co actually supplied a sheet with the policy docs with two circles of sticky and a contact number to get it fixed.

Just heard an ad on Classic FM
