Thread: D4 Windscreen

I cracked a d4 windscreen last year. I have rain sensor and high beam assist. I ticked the windscreen option with GIO Insurance and glad i did. I rang GIO they got windscreen obriens to call me. They can only use the original windscreen on this vehicle i was told. Then also that their mobile vans can not fit them. It had to be left for the day at one of two repair centres in Sydney. So i figure they are not a simple or cheap windscreen.

I previously had a windscreen cracked by the installer of my safari snorkel. He showed me the invoice for the landrover screen and it was $850. He had a local guy install it and it took him 3 goes gefore i had no leakes from the top edge of the screen.

The lesson, make sure you tick the windscreen box on your insurance and get a specialist to install a new windscreen.

I feel your pain, my insurance clicks over tomorrow and my crack has grown legs and a tail in the last 2 weeks. There seems to be a major weak spot right between the wiper blades. Time for you to grab a tattslotto ticket, you seem as lucky as me.
