Good on you for sticking to your guns, these companies think they can get away with daylight robbery |

Hi all, Just been offered a Pilkington screen! got a small crack in the screen I've asked them for an OEM which he said could take 4 weeks and would have to be checked with my insurance company! Hope I'm able to win this! |

Yep, Ive had that too, supposed to be same quality as the original, but the laminated centre film always showed a milkyness, not very good at all. wouldnt surprise me in the least if these companies still charge the insurance company the same as an original screen anyway when they send the bill in, just they make a little bit more from it hence why they push for it. I was only wrong once and thats when I thought I was but wasnt. 2010 Freelander 2 XS Stornaway Grey 2010 Aston DBS Morning Frost 2010 Bentley Continental Brooklands Green |

Had a Pilkington screen fitted last week (after a chip turned into a crack(hiding in front of the tax disc so i couldn't see it!)).

Got an original landrover screen fitted to mine in the end. Had to fight for it though.. The autoglass fitter told me when he fitted it that most BMW and Merc drivers insist on OEM as it can de-value the car by upto £1000
