Im officialy an idiot, managed to crack the screen in our 1999 jimny.
Got a price of about £160 fitted including vat.
Anyone else had one fitted?
Car isnt insured, is nearly out of test and its bad enough to fail so cant claim.
Just wondered if anyone had found anywhere cheaper.

where is it cracked ...as long as it does not restrict your driving view, no need to replace it

actually I think that sounds a bargain compared with modern windscreens that are bonded in.

I started off high and worked my way down ever since :-)

I had one fitted last week - insurance job, but still had to pay £75 excess so your price doesn`t sound too bad. Having read your previous topic and considering your present comments I would be tempted to get shut of this Jimny and try again as it will cost you more to fix this up than it will to replace it.

Think I paid £130-ish a couple of years ago after lots of ringing around so £160 sounds reasonable. You might get it down a bit by playing companies off against each other.

The Jimny windscreen is bonded in.
