Question Replacing the winscreen ?

Is it easy to do?

Anyone know where to get good secondhand glass from for a MY99 sport. Near Rochdale.

Don't fancy paying the £350 my insurance company want, when i can get it done new from autoglass for £320.

I find it difficult to beleive an insurance company will charge so much more (sum of both excess's and the glass one being £100 instead of £50).

Deffinately something wrong there.
Do you have fully comp and windscreen cover?

IMO,a s/h front screen is not worth it,but then it will only cost me £50.
