i've had no problem securing windscreens via the usual suspect companies and claimed via insurance in the last two years.

glad they are still available unfortunately its been off the road for an 18 month rebuild so no MOT or insurance so will have to pay.

If you can source your own screen you can ask a company to put it in for you.
I was lucky enough to have an auto glass guy in my area who put my screen in for me for 70 quid.
And that was only because if he broke it he could get another one for me for free

i got a screen put in by the RAC when i first got mine. didn't have insurance cover for it, so had to pay. total price fitted was 140, and it would have been 60 at the time had i had it on my insurance

So the screen is sorted found a guy breaking a Mk2 in Leeds so decided that a road trip was on the cards.
Some good music, some bad singing and a 460 mile round trip and got all of the bellow for £90
