I got it for around £200, but I didnt want to replace the heated and UV deflecting screen, I just got a ordinary one.
If yours is a heated windscreen they will tear out the flat conducting strip that runs all the way round the edge of the windscreen.

*general rant, when will the auto industry start making polycarbonate windscreens legal for the road, no more cracking and safe from bricks |
Yes, I actually backup Goran!
There is a concensus autoglass is c*#p and will do a rubbish job.
There is some hope, some autoglass fitters are brilliant, and some drivers managed to convince their insurer to cough up the more expensive manufacturer windscreen.
But, for most will not be so lucky and the alternative of finding your own fitter will cost much more - but nice one Goran for your recommendation
PS: Is there a list of APPROVED retailers/fitters/etc on this forum?
PPS: Can we then negotiate a group discount with this list?
