Insurance & Windscreen cover?

[StevenMc29]

Driving along a few nights ago. Heard something hit the window. Checked quickly when I got to my destination couldnt see anything. Then today I was replacing a tax disc holder and I found a small chip. I have windscreen cover but not really sure how it works tbh.

Will it get fixed or replaced? Wouldnt mind it getting replaced as there is marks where the wipers must have scraped against it when a previous owner had it. But then again it may be expensive because I have auto wipers and the wee sensor thing is in the windscreen I think?

If you've got windscreen cover, just phone up Autoglass or the likes, book yo

ur car in and give them your Insurance policy provider and number and they sort the rest!

Edit:

Worth mentioning that they will repair it free of charge to you.. (will cost the insurance company but you won't loose your no claims) but if they have to replace it it will cost you your insurance windscreen excess, i think mines is £50.

I didn't phone my insurance at all mate, just phoned Autoglass direct and they dealt with my insurance.

Just rang autoglass there and they're ringing me back in the morning to arrange a time to come see it

Good man.

Did you give them insurance details?

IIRC if you can fit a 5p over the crack/chip then they will repair it...

You've got no luck with cars have you mate?

Should get sorted easily though.

tell me about it... Cars going for a service either next week or the week after. Hoping thats not expensive and that it doesnt need much tbh

+ your windscreen excess is likely to increase if they have to change it.
