    Replacement Windscreen for SVX 08 $$$

    HI

    Bad morning , went to load up paddle board in the car and pushed a little hard against front windscreen and (**&^&%^%$#$$@$@$) yep smashed it ! Cracked actually , but either way , a replacement needed.

    Any one here had to replace an 08 defender heated windscreen ( not sure if SVX is different with heated fillaments in the screen ). If so how much and any particular dealer reccomended or the old Windscreens obriens?

    Thanks

    My L322 has a heated screen and they are quite expensive,the defender shouldn't be that bad,a normal one is only $100. Pat

    I would have thought the comprehensive policy would pay for any damage incurred less the standard excess regardless of the component [panel, glass, mirror etc] which was damaged.

    $1030 quote from MLR fully fitted

    My insurance did not have the one free windscreen option , so Ill just claim under normal insurance. Excess is $550 , so I will claim.

    If the windscreen didnt have the demister in it , I would have been up for only $378 fitted as quoted by Obriens.

    Given the demister version is onyl gong to cost me $172 by using the insurance option ,I think it is its worth paying the xtra.

    I had Obriens fit a new screen on my defender and they charged me $100 for the screen and $50 to fit it.I wonder what the difference is?. Pat

    I was talking to a windscreen fitter the other day. He was telling us that windscreens for some newer cars with rain sensors etc can cost $3-4000

    potentially dumb question, but do you really *need* a heated windscreen?
