Can someone please give me a ball park figure as to what having the rear window replaced in my Chimaera should cost me, mine just blew out on the M/W So, I'll be making some 'phone calls tomorrow and it would be nice to know if I'm being ripped off or not.

Thanks

Tim

Edited as I've just done a search and it seems to be around £150-175. Does anyone have any recomendations for a trimmer in Kent, preferrably around Canterbury/Ashford/Maidstone area. thanks again

I wasn't a complete Muppet, the rear window was temporarily glued in last week as it has come a drift along the top, the glue held out but the stitching down the side didn't

Never mind, i'm calling my insurers this morning to see if it's covered as a windcreen.

I'm very glad I asked on hear as to how much we're looking at, i just 'phoned a local Trimmere, who advertises repairs to soft tops etc, do you know how much he just quoted?...



...are you sitting down...




...£280+ VAT - but they did say they co do it straight away.

Hmm, was it the fact that I mentioned TVR I wonder?

PMSL: Second quote just came in...

£320.00 and he won't guarantee that the rest of the hood isn't damaged when trying to change the window!!

I find this quite unbelievable.

I now have the number of a guy recommended by Walldonway TVR so hopefully this will be more realistic.
