Hi - Hopefully someone can help here!

My car will need a new windscreen for its MOT in 3 months time. The current windscreen is wearing silicone shower sealant owing to a leak that appeared last year (Gasket had perished and roof had rusted). I took the cheap and simple option because I knew the screen would only have to come out anyway.

Has anyone here had Autoglass et al come out and remove a screen, then disappear for a few days and return later to fit the new glass? This would allow me time to have remedial works done to the leading edge of the roof which is rusty (but treated with Kurust) and is smeared in a bit of sealant (to keep the weather out)

SO: will a glass company do the job in two bits?
ALSO: how much do you think it'll cost in bodywork repairs. How front leading edge needs grinding back and painting in the correct colour.

All help appreciated, this is new ground to me!
