Bad luck for windscreen got damage

[by-life]

I am bad luck and get a windscreen damage.

First, I got a chip on windscreen which hit by a rock, but it became a crack for 10cm within seconds.

I called the O'brien and got an answer that if the chip's size is smaller than one dollar, then it can be fixed, will cost $124 in branch. However, if size is more than one dollar, it will be required to replace the whole windscreen, which cost $450.


Where can I get a original honda windscreen? From dealer? How much?


Do you have any suggestion? Or there are any good windscreen fixer? unfortunately, I don't have windscreen insurance.


Any advises, welcome. Thanks.


In Melbourne.

I would recommend you to replace the windscreen asap.
15cm is too long to leave it unrepaired.

Go to Obriens or a windscreen dealer, it's far cheaper than going original. I will be replacing my 3rd windscreen shortly in my CU2.

How much does it cost you to replace windscreen each time?
Is it same as original windscreen in O'briens?

Is your Euro a std.or lux.If it's a lux.be careful as some aftermarket windscreens have problems with the auto wiper sensor working properly.

I don't know if they are exactly the same but my suspicion is they are. As for the cost, my insurance company pays for it so I can't comment other than to say they are much cheaper.

As a side note, when I traded my FD1 the windscreen was damaged, the dealer called in windsreens obrien. I think that tells a story.

Hi, I got a std Euro.

Now, I got 3 quote from different workshop, $450, $375 and $245 for aftermarket price.


Do not which one should I choose? 450 or 245?

[buddah51au]

Personally. I go with the cheapest basically because i know it wont last long.
