Personally the aim is to see if Hagerty will let me select the company to do the repair. If so, I'll ask Glassman (local PHer) to fit it. I've mentioned it before and I seem to remember he was having trouble locating the part number and supplier.Try www.mobilewindscreens.co.uk far more friendly and helpful and under £200 !
Hello Chaps...Autoglass at Great Bridge.. Tipton are handling my replacement.
They have sourced me a screen but it's green with a blue upper sun band. My car being cardinal Red makes me inclined to stay with what Ive got.. a clear glass screen. They said they'd continue the search. I quoted them the part no. 9255 ACL obtained from a thread on here. They said it wouldn't cost more than £400.
I had a conversation with Roy at Autoglass who had done a Cerbera before and he said it took 5 hours. I said an S3 is not without its difficulties.. and that I didn't want the surround scratched.. he said don't worry mate we'll manage it.. but I had to take it there.. they wouldn't do it on my drrive.
I'm hoping Hagerty will be picking up the tab.. less excess.
I'll keep you posted..
Paul.

I've had my windscreen changed on a number of occasions
, and never had any issue getting the replacement with a clear glass screen in much more than a week. I've always had to leave the vehicle with them for a day for it to be fitted.Always been done by RAC windscreens
, covered by insurance except the £60 excess. I thought supply of the glass wasn't really an issue ?
Should I invest in one at £75
if it is £75 - seems awfully Hi,
I need to replace the windscreen on my recently acquired S3. The current windscreen (not original screen according to the paperwork that came with the car) seems to be bonded in with a flexible black sealant around the edge to seal the gap. Is this a correct fitment or should it have a traditional black rubber seal all around the edge? I would welcome input from anyone who has previously researched this.
Many Thanks

Hello had my windscreen replaced at home via the insurance company.I don't think they are in short supply as I believe they fit the Griff as well.It took two fitters a couple of hours as they have to cheese wire the screen out. Make sure they are really careful with the dashboard and the interior.They are afaik all bonded in,this can look messy to, if not done correctly.
