    With three chips, especially not fresh ones, replace the screen. Get prices from yellow pages. Windscreen O'Brian are usually the dearest.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    G'day

    Try Elite windscreens 9704 8268. I use them all the time (replacing windscreens on trucks) and have found them to offer the best value for money. Hope this is of help.

    Cheers Gavin

    I have had decent prices and service from a franchise called 'windscreen power', both in Hoppers Crossing, and Ballarat

    maybe that would be worth a try? a few years back i was quoted $300+ to have my VL commodore windscreen changed (by o'briens), and it was done windscreen power for $160

    If it's not already sorted as said earlier get out the Yellow pages. When you ring around say you have a cheaper price else where and play them off each other. Winscreen Obrien was about $300 for a VS Commodore I sold and suddenly dropped to $150 to beat other prices, good quality original glass was used as well.
    Cheers, David.
