Windscreen damage?

Hi all,

Unfortunately I was hit by a fairly large stone last week. It left a large chip in my windscreen that has tried to be repaired but it's still quite obvious! My question is are there any problems regarding windscreen replacement? And is it worth looking into a heated screen at this stage? Confused

Get a genuine LR Windscreen and not a Solarflare as fitted by Auto Windscreens, hit the search button and search for Solarflare Thumbs Up p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior

There is a lot more to it than buying a heated windscreen. wiring, switch, ecu and a faultmate update. not saying it can't be done, just more trouble than it's worth.

Think Auto Windscreens have gone bust so youre safe there. I was only wrong once and thats when I thought I was but wasnt.

Thanks for the replys folks

My insurance company uses National Windscreens who apparently use genuine LR parts. So for £70 excess I can get it sorted? I think thats just the way to go....
