Windscreen replacement

[wasabiz]

for those who got their windscreens replaced under insurance, how much excess did you have to pay and which insurance company?

Under RAC it was $100

Thanks Wasabi,
Which Obriens did you use and were you happy with the workmanship?
Thanks again.

I had the windscreen replaced in my last car by O'Briens Brooklyn just before I got rid of it. They had the wrong screen first time so the guy had to put the old screen back in after removing it. Did a bit of a messy hack job of it, with silicone everywhere and the rain sensor bodged back in.

Once they had the right screen, the guy who came out to fit it was awesome. He was in to his cars, knew I cared about mine and took his time doing a great job. No mess and no poor figment.
Just shows you can get two very different outcomes from the same place.

Just thought I'd update this thread a bit with some hard figures. Golf Mk7 TDI, from the dealer quoted $800ish from Canberra dealer. (The other dealer doesn't do it).

AAMI, paying the difference between their "Australian approved VW windscreen" to the OEM version is an extra $400. Hopefully replacing it next week. *fingers crossed*

Is the AAMI replacement under windscreen replacement insurance?

Yes, I paid for the extra cover.
