Porsche v Pigeon - new screen needed

[marc500]

What's the latest on screen suppliers? Happened on the A40 out of London, pretty much the only part of London yesterday afternoon that wasn't gridlock....





*Just a thought - would you claim on insurance for this? My gut says don't, just source the screen and pay a trusted old school fitter to pop it in. I'm very sceptical about the workings of car insurance companies and have deliberately never made a claim in 20+ years... I insure 5 cars at the moment. Aside from the excess and the NCD, I assume I'd have to say yes to the question 'have you claimed in the last year' for each renewal policy.... plus I've no control on who would fit it.

When I needed a replacement, Karmann Konnection had them

Windscreen replacement doesn't usually affect NCB ...

I just asked my insurer if claiming would increase future premiums and they said 'maybe' and likewise it might also impact the four other policies I have... you're right it doesn't hit the NCB but its the fact you've claimed I guess..... hey hoo.

Watch out in the future... I once phoned my insurance company and asked about repair to some vandal damage, but decided not to make a claim. When it came to renewal time, I discovered it had been noted that I'd enquired about making a claim, and my premium adjusted as it was based on 'risk not actual payouts'... I went elsewhere.

I wonder what they thought was going to happen when they tried that!

When mine cracked last year a place in Chesterfield literally 20 minutes from me had genuine Sigla screens in stock. I paid £180.

I can try to get you the details of the place, I don't have them off hand as the guy fitting it sorted it out.

Let me know if I can help.
