Windscreen availability

[Adetuono]

Went out for a quick blast today, and managed to collect a big old chip in my front screen, right in the drivers eyeline. Probably an MOT failure, come the time, but still drivable. Reckon it might spread though , meaning a new screen at some time in the near future.
Anyone got any idea if screens are readily available, or are they suffering from the same woes as clutches? Also, can the usual suspects manage to change them OK? Must be some on here with experience.

do a quick search on the word 'windscreen'. It has been mentioned before very recently. I seem to remember the fitter for the company travelled all the way down to Essex from Manchester as he was the cerbera expert. It was on a windscreen insurance claim as well I think so only cost the £50 excess which doesn't count as a claim.

Yes, I saw that one from a month or so back. I'll contact my insurers Monday (or when-ever the crack lengthens) to see what they reckon. If it's going to take a while to get one, and the weather stays as good as it's been today, I'll have to make sure that it remains usable.

Done by National Windscreens, really top job.

I am not sure, I was asked if I had one. I understand they are a PITA to do as you have to remove half the dash. In the end its your insurance who will foot th bill, so who cares?
