Replacement windscreen needed for leased jag

[blue al]

Wife’s heated windscreen took a hit from a stone from passing car on opposite carriageway this morning
Just a small chip so Continued driving to work with out incident. (E-pace dynamic)
Massive crack now after cooling and warming during the day, so needs a replacement.

As the car is leased we are concerned that the replacement glass will be a pattern part rather than official oem
(Has a baby jag image embedded/etched in the glass)

Excess is 95 quid but becomes £295.00 if we don’t use LV recommended partner...

Has anyone experienced grief from lease company for using not Oem glass, every thread I have found here seems to be about chip/repairs?

I had a windscreen replaced on a leased Audi S3 at 12 months old through insurance. It was handed back to the finance company at 24 months with no issues.

Same here although only a van. No issues.

I was worried that it could be considered a “substandard part” (computer says no) without the logos?

Wish to avoid any sort of surprise at handover...

Ask the lease company if you’re worried - but there’s no need to be.

Not if they didn't take reasonable steps to draw your attention to this 'clause' before policy inception.

Had 2 windscreen fitted to my leased Leaf and no issue on hand back.

Are there amy sensors or cameras that might ned recalibrating? Some screens need to be replaced at a dealer to do the calibration.

If your insurance company has multiple windscreen replacement partners, speak with all of them and ask for OEM replacement. Emphasize any special features however small and express concern a pattern part might not work as well. Worked for me last year - Autoglass said they couldn't source OEM due to lockdown but National Windscreens managed to get one for me. Worst they can do is say no.

[blue al]

Yep needs calibration, autoglass say it’s a pattern replacement

Check policy terms and conditions. Mine with Admiral has clause that you can request OEM part if car is below 3 years old.

Cheers for that will dig deeper, currently booked for a pattern part at the end of the month, so I have a little time.
