Can i trust autowindscreens

[adycole]

Hi guys,

just arranged for the above to come and replace my passengers side

window, I have raised my concerns to them about the difficulty in

getting the door panel off but they assured me that it would be ok.

Should i remove the panel? or do i trust them.

Regards A

Guess it depends on the guy who turns up, but if it were me, and I had the opportunity, I'd get as much stripped down as I could beforehand. Gives you peace of mind, and makes the job quicker/easier for matey.

All down to the fitter.

I had Autoglass renew the screen on my disco.

The 2 guys who came couldn't give a monkey's, leaving daylight showing down one side, a right pigs ear!

They then sent there top guy who deals with "the problems", he renewed the screen again and his fitting was as good as the factory.

Ask for him

Moral is, be there when the work is done, I wasn't!

I used them early this year.After fitting the OE TVR screen they did a good job.The only problem i have now is the rubber around the screen is the wrong type ,it as a round edge so it does not fit flush with the targa .I mentioned it and tey said the rubber is not available.TVR Racing Green sell the rubber so its going back..

Autoglass did my screen a few weeks ago. They had the car in their workshop for a whole day. I'm quite happy with the result though. I guess its just down to the guy who does the job on the day.

My advice: find somebody who has done one before ...

I had mind done a few years ago, they had huge difficulties and finally phoned around and found a guy from a different shop who had done them before and he got it done.

BUT

They will use the wrong top rubber unless you get it yourself or make sure they get the right one. The wrong one has an extra lip, Mine still is wrong and the targa top has never fit right, and the rubber at the edges keeps slipping off the window edge.

I've heard people say NEVER AGAIN, force your insurance company to let you use a speciallist, I deffinately will next time.

Thanks guys,

guess its like most things,its a gamble.

Will try to be here when they get here and will advise with help from

this forum on how to remove the panel.

Thing is i would do it myself but you pay the insurance and

they still want 80 quid to replace so i figure let them earn it.

Just make sure they fit the correct rubber seal and have a good look after because they cut my interior trim with a stanley knifeThey fitted a after market screen which did not fit and they were a little upset it had to come out for a genuine one.
