My 2022 Volvo XC60 recharge ( which I have owned for a month) cracked its windscreen, so my insurance company (LV) relieved me of £140 and sent me to autoglass.
When there, they plugged the car in and found some faults relating to parking aid control unit/ front driver assist camera. They said they were therefore not allowed to touch it. As I’d only had it for a month it was back to the Volvo dealer I bought it from - they are Arnold Clark in Glasgow. They checked and cleared some codes and sent me on my way. Today was attempt no 2 at Autoglass, and guess what? Various codes showed up again. The car is booked into Arnold Clark again for next week, but I’m not confident that they’ll resolve it.
Autoglass seem to be LVs only recommended glass fitter. If I want to go anywhere else, I’ve got another £200 to pay, which I’d rather avoid.
Any good ideas/ foresights/ useful comments would be appreciated
Thanks in advance

If I was guaranteed an OEM windscreen, I would pay the £200 and get it done properly. The £125 difference buys precious little nowadays.

I’d be done with Autoglass for a start. Paid them the excess and they put the wrong screen in my Range Rover four times before I gave up.

It’s £200 difference, and why should oem be any different?

Just a thought but it might be worth contacting "Glassman" on here for some advice/assistance.

He has been very helpful with my screen trim issue.
