Rear screen

  1. Has anybody had a new rear screen fitted , how much and where ?

    many thanks David
     
  2. Are you wanting genuine parts ?
     
  3. I think Autoglass are pretty close to OEM , i have a front screen fitted off them and its spot on really
     
  4. Would a replacement from Autoglass explode if you use the screen heater as well, or just the OEM one?
    Seriously I'v never used that since I read all the horror stories? :tongueout:

    Yes. Couple weeks ago mine exploded. Gen ones were on back order in France and about £120+vat retail.

    Had it replaced by national windscreens thru insurance, the guy tht fitted it was spot on did a great job.

    I have seen shit replacement jobs tho thru work as the non gen glass is always a little smaller so its down to the fitter to get it right and make sure no sealer is showing etc
     
  6. I had mine on most of last winter never heard of them popping before, is it when the windows are frosted or just the cold?
