Thread: New windscreen...

I'd go with a large national company,,, they wont be cheap but!,, with a big company you should be able to say "I want the Genuine part"

I'm sure there's hundreds in warehouses all over OZ,,,

Me. Mine was covered by my AAMI insurance but they insist on O'Briens Autoglass.

The rain sensor may need recalibration after fitting a new screen. The glass fitter won't have the LR diagnostic gear to do that. I used Faultmate to do mine.

There's every likelihood the screen will be for a later model, e.g., your 2010, and the rain sensor light sensing window will line up with the hole in the screen mask. Mine didn't.

If they can't supply a screen to match, perhaps you can push for a genuine screen.

The aftermarket heated screen in ours when we bought it was aweful - barely useable at night with the glare off the wires. Was so bad I just got a standard screen fitted which was only $230. Insist on a genuine screen only if that's what it already has.

Thanks and yes it will be genuine!!

Just got mine done through RACQ, no use to you, but make sure who ever does it, that they have your VIN number.

There are a number of versions and only the VIN will get you the correct windscreen.

Re Drivesafe's comment, I suspect my screen was for a later model and that's why the rain sensor's light sensor didn't line up with the hole in the screen mask.

Yep, if they don't get it right, the windscreen connections are in different positions.

It took two goes for them to get mine right.

I'm with Shannons they allow a windscreen a year . I asked them about the windscreen when I insured and told them I have some wiz bang Genuine windscreen that's expensive, they said they would replace it with what its got. Time will tell when the time comes.
