Hope I don't have that drama, it does 100 miles a day. If I didn't have to use autoglass I'd get a heated one.

Well I've booked autoglass for next Friday so fingers crossed. Hopefully they don't mess it up, I'm driving to Manchester in the evening.

This is really strange but I've recently had this exact problem too. Cracked from the base of the windscreen. Luckily auto glass sorted it straight away but had to order new trims as the originals snapped.

Im guessing you guys have windscreen covered by insurance ?

Just happened to mine too cracked from drivers side and then a few days later from passengers side. Gotta say it‘s way better with a new one and they only turned up with the wrong windscreen once so wasn‘t all bad lol apparently the first one was for a left hand drive dc5 wouldn‘t of thought there was many lhd ones in the uk?

Didn't they cover it? I'd have thought they should. They guy on the phone today said "they will return your car to the standard you would expect it" when i asked him. Did you just order them from Honda and fit them after?

Yeah £95 on insurance.

I phoned them because I wasn't convinced when the online for said "We can help with you Honda". Generic honda felt a bit vague. When I phoned they said the car was unknown, then he narrwed it down to an accord. After a while he entered it manually. I'm not totally convinced, but I'll see when they arrive. Really badly wanted them to say it owuld takes ages and cost a fortune so I could convince my insurance to by me a heated one for £350

I gave them my VIN No. so they could look up the exact model. I wasn't convinced but they proved me wrong and turned up with the correct screen first time around.

The trims were replaced by autoglass after I asked if the clips had broken. The fitter was sound and said he would make sure they get me some ordered. I was actually really happy with the service. Another chap turned up later that week with the trims and said they cost 60quid each from Honda.

Yeah I thought I read they were 75 a side. Defiantly going to watch him do it. Kind of hoping he lets me have 10 mins to clean up behind there and get a little seam sealer in to stop any future leaking.

So autoglass turned up today....wrong screen.

Whoop. Second time lucky! The fitter was sound and helped me sort out the seam sealer as well to prevent any future leaks, which was showing signs of starting to crack.

How long did the screen take to come and any serial numbers or anything for it as may need one before advertising my car mate

The number on the screen is weirdly the same for left and right hand drive. If you used autoglass you could use my reg as a reference, but they said it was 800£ for gen Honda one. There is a company near me that said they could do a patterned one for 250 so might be worth a look at local companies. Autoglass only use authentic parts because of their warranty.

My Insurance have said they use National Windscreens and they will get someone out to see if it can be repaired and if it's legal. If not then they will replace it and luckily they said it's not classed as a claim and I would not have to declare it etc as it's not like a normal claim which is good as never had to do this before.

Can you provide any details needed for the screen and side bits just in case

Thanks

No matter how many times part numbers etc seem to be given, they still turn up with the wrong part.

Oh fair enough, so if it can‘t be repaired do I need to say they will also need to order new windscreen trims ?
