Quick question: Some scrote smashed my window in last night. Is it best to just go to Autoglass, or go through the insurance - I've got 5yrs ncb protected.
Also, if anyone else has had experience of this, was it fixed on the same day or was there a wait to order in the glass?
Cheers.

Yeah, its got the binliner look right now. Nothing was taken, nothing to take really. Just a right ol'PITA.
There's another coopster who parks in the same street sometimes, dunno if you're on here, T-reg Red LE, it was right where you had parked yours during the day yesterday, so take care.

Even easier to get the insurers to do it although you'll pay the excess, around £60-70 which is what is in progress right now. Good to know glass cover covers not just the windscreen though.

Sorry to hear this. I've got a spare one too, passenger side, if that's any good.
Does our law condemn a man without first hearing him to find out what he has been doing? (John 7:51)

I've a spare one for each side! Shame I couldn't get the rears off before the coupe killer came to collect the shell.
It's a fiddly job to fit but as you're sorted now, thats not an issue.
You'll be finding glass in that car forever now!
No other damage I take it? Just some scrote with no grey matter by the sound of it.

No other damage, nothing taken. In fact, whoever did it didn't even open the door - the glass only fell out when I opened the door. Which raises a suspicion about a little road rage incident I ended up on the end of the other week.
