I could do with a new screen as current one has gone a bit 'milky' in places - is it a factory/main dealer part?
It is covered on insurance policy, wondering if anyone's experienced problems with the likes of Autoglass replacing them.

Thanks for the replies.
Have spoken to staff at Autoglass (Leic) today and to my surprise they had the screen in stock!
The manager appeared very knowledgeable about fitting them to this car, would need it for the day or overnight. He said the de-laminated milky marks weaken the screen considerably so worth bearing in mind.
He also mentioned that they do all fitments for TMS - not sure if this is the case or not.
Looks like i will give it a go, let you know the results!

in reply to Simon B's query,the insuarnce company seemed more than happy to replace it on my request regardless of what the damage was. I initially rang to get a chip repaired but on talking to them about other damage without going into detail they arranged replacement with no fuss.
