New Cyberster Windscreen!

[JWD]

Last week a stone hit our windscreen and made a triple impact star pretty much in the middle of the screen.
Autoglass just been to see it and concluded it needs complete replacement screen as overall damage area too large and too big a dip in the surface.
Not surprisingly Autoglass don’t have stock so I wonder how long that might take. It is useable and safe in the meantime though.
Suspect I may be the first to go through this experience……

I have stone chip too from last week - planning to go to Autoglass and check my insurance cover

With Autoglass and Admiral policy it was going to be £25 for repair but now £115 for replacement (these are the excesses)

Happy to update that the cracked windscreen has now been replaced by AutoWindscreens.
There was a 3 week wait for the screen to arrive and when it was fitted they had to bring in one of their 9 UK specialist fitters in order to do the recalibration (due to the cameras being situated behind the top middle of the windscreen).

New windscree for my MG3 Hybrid+ took 4 weeks waiting. Calibration took 6 hours!!!

6 hours labour sounds expensive

It's covered by insurance.

I will probably write a more complete entry, but here is a short summary. I had a small crack in my MG4 trophy windscreen. To date, I have visited Autoglass 4 times, had 2 new windscreens and they have the car for a total of 13 hours….and it still is not resolved. They cannot sort out the calibration. Going back next week, 5th visit. I believe they will be using an MG windscreen and not one from a 3rd party. Fingers crossed this time

Had to have my 4EV Trophy windscreen refitted as it had leaked from new (2 years into ownership and a lost of wet carpets later). Camera Recalibration is proving difficult, the agents' windscreen fitter clearly did not do it correctly, agent had a go before I had the car back but it was not working correctly ie no auto high beam or traffic speed sign recognition. Took it back to the agent who had another go and gave up ( it was Friday Afternoon!) - they now wantt o return it to the screen fitter to recalibrate. Agent has left it in a worse state than before, none of lane safety alerts are on, no cruise control, collision alerts ( don't really need those!) as well as the previous problems.

We had our MG4 Trophy screen cracked by a stone last week and we are booked in for repair with AW next week in the pm - having read all the comments I'm just praying they sort the calibration out properly and on the day!
