Windscreen replacement

Hi Guys,

Think i got hit by a stone while travelling along the expressway as i heard a loud sound and then i noticed a hairline crack. Stopped my car to check and saw there is a 5cent coins size crack at the start of the hairline.

Sucks as just gotten car 3 months ago. Hope after replacement done, will be as good as original.

Anyone here can recommend where to get it replaced and potential downtime?

Bro, when r u planning to go to see PML for this windscreen matter? I have a similar case...windscreen chipped....due to a F@&$ing stone hit while driving down to kl.....i am weighing the option between repairing and replacing as I would prefer to repair than replace.....but would like to seek a professional opinion first, was advised by ac323 to visit Glass-fix.......

But I would also like to check with PML as my insurance is with MSIG as well.....and car is just 5 months old.....sian... :(
....let me know if u going tomorrow.....maybe I could meet u there at PML.....Here's my tread....

Bro,

Just saw your message. I went down PML today. Got to get it replaced as mine is a 20cm hairline crack, cannot do repair. So went down just report and set date for replacement. About 2 days job. As what bro ac323 said.

Re: Windscreen replacement

Just got my 05' e60 windscreen replaced today due to a small chip.
Actually was more particular with the brittle windscreen moulding....

No fees involved as its covered by the insurance coverage.

Done by a workshop in kaki bukit autobay.
Left the car there at 10am & it was ready for collection at 2.30pm.

Drove d car w/o d windscreen solar film & sunshade earlier, dam buay tahan d heat & glare manz so gota get it done asap....

Windscreen replacement

got a stone chip on my windscreen.

thanks for the headsup, ac323. i went to glass-fix. 15 mins, $55++. done. happy.

the guy kept asking why i dun wanna replace. well, mine was 2cm only. why wanna rip out a factory-installed windscreen, waste time to replace, retint at my own costs?

Just curious, the excess of the insurance will not come into play for windscreen? Or ur insurance no excess??? :)
 
Re: Windscreen replacement

Windscreen insurance is separate from the car insurance.
