Windscreen
Hi
I'm after your opinion.
I need to replace my windscreen, as it's got a couple of big chips and a crack in it.
I'm not sure which way to go, I can either;
Get one through insurance, but not sure of the fit of these, has anyone done this?
Get a good second hand one, but have to pay some fitting costs
Or try to get a new one from VW, but this would be expensive if at all possible.
Any help will be very gratefully received
Cheers
Tom

If you are fully comp you should be able to get one thru the insurance although most are on ?70 XS now. A local fitter wouldn't want much more for a cash deal :dontknow:

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.
