I think that those £75 mentioned screens were actually insurance ones, as I seem to remember being shown a £450 price for a screen, plus fitting. The glass companies, know how to sell a screen, and deal with all the hassle.

Just out of curiosity is a screen classed as a claim ? |

When I had mine done I was with Aviva. It was done through them and didn't count as a claim. |

Screens are classed as a claim but don't generally affect your no claims bonus. It is also worth checking if your insurance company has a preferred supplier. Some will only authorise claims through their own supplier and won't pay out for screens sourced from other companies. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Insurance will pay if using a company other than they recommend, but the excess will be higher. In my case it would have been £120 excess instead of £90. But my insurance company waived the extra excess as their recommended company couldn't do the replacement for two weeks as the mobile fitter dislocated his thumb and were happy for me to take it to my nearest fitters. |

I had exactly the same symptoms on my previous L322 resulting in a drenched right foot after motorway driving in the rain.
