The excess for a windscreen is lower than the normal policy excess.

on my insurance policies it has been raised to £60 now
if fro is fully comp then thats your cheapest option
you dont even have to call the insurance company
just phone autoglass, national windscreens etc and ask them if they deal with his insurance co
if they do then you pay them the £60 and they charge the insurance company
also remember it doesnt affect no claims

I wasn't fully comp, I was TPFT with Tesco and it cost me £25 for a new screen with a tinted strip, even though it didn't originally have one

Take it those mirrors are stuck on well then?

I need a new windscreen too got a little crack developing at the bottom. Shouldn't effect your NCB's either on the windscreen excess part of your insurance so I got told.

So if Fro is fully comp give him the £50 and should be sorted in no time.

like robin said some have windscreen cover on tpft polices
I did a similar thing years ago in the scrap yard but I just left a big hole in the screen
it was held in place from sliding by a grub screw and I didnt have a allen key
took some right yanking off too!
