ok guy came today to fit my broken windscreen , and door windows , taught happy days , all fitted now fitted my new n75 (e valve) and then took it for a test drive wow , power is back no hesitating , then went over a bump and crack windceen cracked , not happy

How hard did you go over the 'bump' and how big was it?!

Surely you get a warrenty with the windscreen?

 

[MrBen2k7]

BAD times... I feel for you buddy.

 

[oldman]

how soon after the windscreen done?
if too soon the bonding would have still been soft

 

[mikebrennan]

I'm sure you are NOT supposed to drive the car for 24hrs once a new screen has gone in.
Sad times.

had mine replaced last saturday, matie told me you cant drive the car for an hour after its been done because of the sealant/glue they use and not to wash your car for 24 hours

 

[LEE69]

Yeah bonding needs to set, gutted for you though

gutted mate, i hope you get this sorted asap.

 

[oldman]

reminds me i need a chip fixing in mine with the superglue fix stuff they do
who went bust? autoglass or autowindscreens?

 

[clackie]

i work for autoglass for your screen to crack so easily by just hittin a bump/pothole you want to make sure the appiture is straight when the screen is fitted as this will put extra pressure on the sceen causing it to crack whilst hitting bumps/potholes

 

[Mo Arif]

I'd personally go back to the guy!

 

[seatcupramad23]

i left the car for 4 3 hours hours before driving it , i was told just needs 1 hour

 

[oldman]

43 hrs, would hope it had set
i would go back to guy who did work and enquire as to why it crack so soon
shout and whinge and he'll not help

 

[s_purs]

i think he meant 'for 3 hours' not 43hours

 

[SalSheikh]

yep, ring and complain fella, should have cracked unless you were doing evel knivel speeds.

 

[clackie]

speak to the bloke who done your screen mate as it shouldnt crack at all unless he damaged the appiture when taking your screen out that the only possible reason for it to crack, even hitting a deep pothole at speed shouldnt damage the screen unless its under alot of presure

 

[seatcupramad23]

u guys lright will be ringing him then governing body

this happened to me twice......the first time i was on the way to work after leaving my car for 5 hours.....they replaced that one.....then the day it was going in for an mot they replaced the screen. they smashed that one when they put it in so luckily they slotted me in just before the mot.....i must say they were very nice about it and there was no messing about......they just came with a new windscreen and checked how it was cracked (no big chips or anything) and said yeah thats a duff screen. lol although i nearly slapped the bloke when he broke the second screen but was all sorted in the end. only charged me once as the rest was there fault.
