Thread: Yikes! Cracked Windscreen (D3)

Busted three of 'em. About $1,400 fitted if no rain sensor. Claimed under my normal comp insurance and paid $500 excess. I now have specific windscreen cover!
As yet, no cheaper aftermarket alternative....well as at about 6 months ago.

My advice is to always go for the extra windscreen cover. I know mine is a $50 excess and am allowed one per year. Windscreens with rain sensors are very expensive.

Windscreens WITHOUT rain sensors are EXPENSIVE as well (OEM - definitely)

Changed mine over a couple of months ago, $1900 genuine screen only available, but I was lucky we have one free screen a year with AAMI no excess.

I replaced the screen in my D3 in January this year for $242 through RACQ Autoglass.
No rain sensors, (its the S model) the plastic surround came out a little scratched but otherwise all good.

cheers.

Warrigal57,
Does the new glass have inbuilt UV filtration?

was this total replacement cost, or your insurance excess only, I've replaced two at $1,400 each less my $500 excess!!!! Mine is standard "S" variant.

What I mean is, I paid $500, being the insurance excess on a $1,400 approx replacement. Was told by insurance co & installer that there was no after market screen available in February 09.
