Windscreens in Herts

[nia198]

Sorry to resurrect this old chestnut but... Looking to get my chipped 2000 chim windscreen replaced before this year's MOT. Have read through all the old posts and am now unsurprisingly nervous. I have a few questions:

1 - I'm insured by Admiral. Anyone had experience? Before I talk to them I'd like to know what line I should start with. I see Glassman said...
"Admiral give RACAW exclusivity on all their glass claims. Guy with Griffith had similar problems as you so he hard a few carefully selected words with the bods at Admiral... the result he got was them allowing him to seek alternative services (within a pre-disclosed limit)."
Does that mean they will only normally pay for RAC fitted glass? I don't see that in the terms and conditions. If so, any idea what I need to say to them to get them to come round to doing what the Griff guy did, or any another options anyone can think of?

2 - Assuming the above is true and to get insurance cover I have to go through RAC, anyone had good or bad experience in Hertford (where I live), Harlow (where I work) or somewhere else close by?

3 - I'd obviously like to get "TVR" glass. From what I've read I should be able to ask for that, right?

4 - If I can go through other than RAC, who in the area not to far from Hertford is good?

5 - Slightly topic change, but right now I get a greasy build-up on the inside of the windscreen. I clean it off quite regularly but it comes back, I assume via the air vents - Anyone else get this? It would be nice to fix it before I turn my shiny new screen. Would be nice to keep it clean on the inside at least...

Cheers,
Nick

Give Glassman a call/email he may be able to help

He did a great job on resealing my screen

He is not very far from you. Barnet I think

I have his business card at home if you need his Number

Had RAC High Wycombe wreck my trim getting the screen changed. They had to pay for a retrim of all the dash that borders the screen.

Don't use them.

If insured with Mannings in Henley then they will pay for a proper non RAC fitter.
