are you sure your windscreen excess is £350 ?
Normally glass has less excess then the excess you pay for having an accident.

Afraid so yeah because it's a business policy all excess is a straight forward £350

I went to autoglass direct and they quoted me £305 !

I never realised windscreens were so expensive

Unless you find a breaker who's willing to send you a 2nd hand screen and you can fit it by a local bodyshop you will probably be shelling out that kind of wedge, the link i posted appeal to you at all?

Cheers mate but the price after paying a fitter separately is more than autoglass can do the whole job for.

Thx all the same
