anyone from the south east wanna recommend me a place that will fix/replace the windscreen... im clueless where to go coz it has never happened to me before... also... a rough quote as wells?
the crack was tiny as when i first noticed it... i assumed that the sub caused it coz i listen to my music very loudly... so i stopped that... now its cracked more so... and i think its because i park the car in the sun...
thanx for listening and helping ... if u do.. :D

should have had it checked when you first noticed it. in some cases it can be fixed without needing a new windscreen.
Its obviously gone way beyond that point now.
beeze is right. up to you if you want to use the same seals also. in regards to places, try calling around. there's one on hallam rd behind a 7/11 petrol station (between princes hwy and hallam station). heard they have cheap windscreens. Think they were called A1 windscreens

yeh, when the crack is small it can be fixed but too late now.
wat about oooObrien, heard they do it for a good price plus its reliable.
cheap isnt always good, cuz they might not take care and hold the edges of the windscreen with barehands etc.
theres a good place in clayton area.. i got my eg done...
it was cheap as... under 200
i gotta find the receipt...
o'brian wanted like over 250 for my windscreen...

check to see if you need to replace the seals on the windscreen... and let them know.
i recommend them. they come to you.
] i think its because i park the car in the sun...
It's because you didn't fix the crack/chip when it was small and as a result it quickly because a big one and now you need a new windshield rather than just getting it fixed for like $40
you can't get a RWC if you were to sell your car...
and its defectable...

Your sub didn't cause the crack.
Something hitting it caused it. Like a stone chip bouncing off the freeway.
Then as your car turns in and out of driveways, over speed humps, the chassis flexes and twists the windscreen more and the crack widens.
Your sub didn't cause the crack.
Too Much Doof Doof !!!

Could also try Novus. They do on-site screens.
