F--king rock hit my window today, not far from the top on the driver side. Its inline with where the mirror sits so is it an MOT failure?
I can afford a new screen but how much is it likely to cost and who should I use? I'm not fully comp.
What if I got one from a scrappy?
Please help

Autoglass's presentation thingy on what type of crack they can repair says mine would be fine to repair, between £62 and £82

Ring insurance company. Pay £60 excess and have a new one fitted.

if its more than 10mm and with in the driver few then its a mot fail. the driver few is about 8inch each side of the steering wheel. all the way from top to bottom.
i think thats correct anyway!!

And there goes your ncb then!
I'd get it done locally if not too bad, just get quoted and see what you come up with 2bh

National Windscreens are fitting a new screen on saturday morning for £136 I need a new screen as theres a 5 inch scratch appeared on it too. Nevermind.
I think National Windscreens did my Corsa's window too, very good work.

Also: they quoted £52 to repair it, when Autoglass say between £62 and £82 so Nathional Windscreens are prefered
