2013 Range Rover Autobiography SDV8 Luxor

Having been driving for over 50 years I've never had a sunroof smashed or even heard of one being smashed so I wont be spending any more time worrying about it. Geoff

Absolutely Stan. Point taken… Mine was only to say to anyone reading this now or in the future, there are other ways. Doesn’t always have to be a ‘pants down moment at the main dealers!’ 👍

I'd be willing to pay the extra premium Craig , but its not being aware that the roof isnt covered on my normal policy...
my fault for not reading the exclusions..

It will be covered - but will be a regular claim and not a windscreen claim. So would affect NCD and be subject to normal excess.

You're basically in the same position as someone with a metal roof. If a rock falls on it, you decide whether to make a claim or pay for the repair yourself. No cheap £100 windscreen excess option.

Just prior to the first lockdown , on the A12 & a lorry spun a pice of angled metal off the road. Hit the windscreen AND the sunroof. Took them both out.

I phoned Autoglass, & they said we will check your policy , Bingo I was covered as glass & I paid one lot of £75.00 excess .

I seem to recall Autoglass saying it was about £4,000 of repairs, but I’m not quite sure.

I always check to make sure both are covered…. What do they say about lightning…

I drove to Autoglass in lockdown as an essential worker (farmer!) …. Very very strange . Filters are in fact so good that in certain circumstances, when the ambient air is already polluted, a diesel car will tend to extract more particles from the air than it emits. Emissions Analytics worked with........etc etc

He who dies with the most toys wins...
