turbo Grant Posted February 23, 2011 Share 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.

turbo Grant Posted February 23, 2011 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
LukeSR Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 No it shouldn't effect your no claims bud! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Craig_T Posted February 23, 2011 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites

Turkish91 Posted February 24, 2011 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
