Wndscreens

Me again

Another point. Has anyone had a winscreen fitted without the front clam being removed and then noticed very small cracks on the wheel arches. The reason I ask is that I had to go via insurance due to the cost which meant it went to RAC. They were unconfident to remove the clam but said there was plenty of leverage and were very careful not to stress the clam. However I cant remember if the cracks were there or not. Will they get worse ?

Cracks in stressed glassfibre will always get worse, I’m afraid - it’s the constant change in stress that does the damage…

I think they owe you a brand new clamshell

They won’t be able to prove that there were any cracks before, and they should have pointed them out if there were any…

Autoglass have spent last 2 weeks sourcing a screen for mine - they reckon they will need it for a full day for fitting as front clam needs removing…
