Thread: Yikes! Cracked Windscreen (D3)

An odd variation in prices...

Had a screen with rain sensor ('09 SE) replaced recently $740 supplied and fitted (no insurance involved) by a local windscreen fitter and sourced from Land Rover.

cheers

Had a new windscreen fitted today. $440 fitted with the rain sensor presumably transferred. Windscreen is a PGI unit Fitted by Yass Windscreens and Glass, PGI list two types of windscreen, with and without a rain sensor patch. I will update how the rain sensor behaves.

Hi Def90,
We get aftermarket w/screens for some of our 2nd hand vehicles for RWC.
S&F cost is around $1000.00. This includes a new sensor as some that have been reused (other companies-National/O'brien's etc- that turn up to fit glass for insurance for customer's) eventually play up. (what we have seen anyay).
If u need to organise one give me a ring at MLR & we can book it in.

Cheers.

We have had no issues with the rain sensor after our replacement except that, for the first few days, it seemed a bit slow in activating. Since then it has worked fine. The screen was quoted as "with rain sensor"

I suspect that the PGI screens do not include a new sensor and rely on the installer swapping the old one over from the broken screen. Interestingly I was quoted $1700.00 supply only from the dealer which is why I went aftermarket.

I just had my D4 done via RACQ glass. (Road Train West of Longreach Got me)

$1200 for OEM screen with rain sensor. Had pay $500 excess.

Non genuine was $550.

Western QBE unlimited glass breakage is the way to go.

just broke my second one on a D4 with rain sensor, however have to wait 4wks to come from UK

atleast i dont have to pay for it or excess

Hi Pete,

I bought Def90's D3 and he had to replace the glass for the RWC. Organised through Lance Dixon (contractor). So far it works fine (rain sensors) have been ok, so hopefully new sensors were installed, but it was a neat job. If it goes again I will certainly get LR to do it. I use ULR so would probably do it thorugh them, but thanks for the info. My D2 I had to replace for RWC and was a bit of a botch job through RACV (National Widscreens).
Cheers Neil.
