It was just a matter of time really but I need to get the front screen replaced as it has a pretty massive crack running across it. Its covered on the insurance, albeit with an excess ofc.
The insurance company just gave me a number for autoglass but I’m not sure that sits well with me, not exactly lotus specialists. Maybe I’m worrying over nothing and its just as straight forward as any other car screen replacement but I thought I would ask here first.
Also, I’ve heard that we can now get heated screens which would be nice to have.
Heated screens are nice, but you have all of the wiring and a relay to sort. I used to have one in mine, but it cracked almost immediately, so I do question the quality of them.
It’s a long job - front clam needs to be removed, or least partly unbolted to enable proper access to the windscreen surround (to avoid high risk of cracking the new one!).
My last two experiences with Autoglass have been negative …
1)front screen change on a Golf pissed water in…Had to be done again .
2)side window replaced on a Golf …Fell out in a couple of months .
No way would I trust them to de-clam my Exige !!
I would insist Lotus dealer only if it were mine .
