So I had the call from the Manager of the local depot today. He was very apologetic about the whole situation and promised it would all get sorted. The only issue now is that apparently you have to wait a week for the sealant to fully cure before they can replace the screen again, so have to wait until next Tuesday to get this resolved. All a bit of a saga!

On an earlier Discovery 4, I wanted the correct windscreen fitted, rather than whatever my insurance company would select. I went to the dealer and got charged £800. It was fitted by Autoglass, but overseen by the dealer and I wasn't going to pay unless I was happy. It was fitted correctly.

If the third attempt isn’t correct then I think the approach Inigo took may be the best option.

I am dreading going through this. Unfortunately, today whilst I was cruising along an empty country road, there was an almighty pop, like when the plastic on a drinks bottle pops, but x10. I continued on in wonderment as to what it may have been. When I stopped, I noticed my windscreen has randomly decided all on it's own accord to crack. I have put in a repair for now, but it does mean a new screen is something I will need to sort.

I don't know if it's a thing on the L405 too, but the L322 was very sensitive to glass thickness, and aftermarket windscreens have caused problems with the auto wipers, headlights and radar control. 2015 Range Rover Autobiography 4.4 SDV8 |

I can’t be certain but it does feel like my auto wipers are not as sensitive/precise as they were with the genuine screen. I have adjusted them to ‘max’ to get them to work and they still seem a bit hit and miss. |

You are entitled to your car being restored to the same condition and specification that it was prior to the glass damage.

I have had a few done by Autoglass and always invited on going to their fitting shop to have it done and looking at the windscreen before it is fitted each one has been good - might be worth a try |

I was with aviva, I requested a JLR windscreen and they agreed.

I thought I'd give an update, and thanks for this thread, as I may have also experienced the same woes.

I wish I had done that Gary! I hope you will get a much better result than I did. Let us know how you get on.
