Hi All,
Im having a new windscreen fitted next week on the corsa.
The current windscreen doesnt have a sunstrip. I thought they came standard as I would like one on my new on?!
What is envolved when they fit it? Do the windscreen wipers have to come off? Scuttle pannel e.t.c? Wouldnt mind no'ing so I can check its all been put back together properly after!
Thanks in advance

GSI's came with a tinted top, when my windscreen broke I asked the guy for the top tinted screen, cost me an extra £20 though. They remove the scuttle, which means removing the wipers.

Sounds good to me. I have windscreen cover on my insurance so they should pay for it.
Thanks

Spoke to them today, paid a bit extra when I took out the policy to get the windscreen cover.
Its a £50 excess, Monthly payments dont go up and it doesnt affect my NCB.

Mine was through the insurance, £60 excess. Was told by the guy on the phone that the tinted screen costs more, and the insurance wont pay it, so he put it through as a normal screen for the insurance, and I gave him the extra £20.

What insurer are you with? Iwill argue that it comes as standard and that I shouldnt have to pay anymore than my £50 excess to replace a standard part. Worth a shot...
