redz11 Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 as topic states, Mine has a crack in it and a big stone chip, just wondering how i would go about swapping my old n/as windscreen with my glanza one?any tips, as cost effective as possible? thanks fellas Quote
turbo Grant Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 You need to cut the screen out with cheese wire or there is a tool you can get which you can use on your own. Once you get the screen out you have to clean all the old sealer off. Then rust proof around the screen. You stick the new screen in with tiger seal. Tape the screen in and leave if for a couple of hours. Sick the new trim in round the out side of the screen. And your done. Be better to get a pro to do it. Dosnt cost to much. Quote

turbo Grant Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 Realy not sure how it affects your no claims. Never needed to do it. Watched loads of screens being changed at work. Quote
LukeSR Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 No it shouldn't effect your no claims bud! Quote
Craig_T Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 Replacement screen normally effects no claims.Just look around for someone who works for a windscren company, ask them to do it on the fiddle for you, will charge about 30 quid or somethingor just ring up a small company and ask how much to change Quote
ajep91 Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 i do windscreens do not do it urself and neva use tiger seal the windscreen is 75 persent of your roof strenth ive seen windscreens fall out due to been fitted inproper its work paying to get it done properly!! ;) Quote
Turkish91 Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Windscreen cover doesnt affect NCB on Admiral as far as I'm aware (Im sure thats who you said you were with?) Worth paying the £70 if you ask me! Then you know its 110% spot on! Quote
