940 glass (UK)

Discussion in 'Volvo 940' started by Lynyrd Skinhead, Nov 15, 2003.

  1. Hi gang,

    I need a new windscreen & rear screen for a '92 940 estate. Autoglass have
    quoted me £874 for the pair. Obviously I would like to do this a little
    cheaper. Does anybody in the uk know of anybody pricing this glass a little
    more reasonably?

    Cheers in advance,

    M.

    Doesn't your car insurance cover this? If it doesn't, sorry. I wish I did
    know a cheaper option for you. If this happened outside your house, eg.
    vandalism, some house content insurances cover it (mine does). If not, I
    wish you the best.

    I just got my windscreen replaced on insurance, apparently they have made a
    policy now that the insurance price is the same price the private person
    pays, son instead of reducing the cost for insurance they increase the
    private buyers cost, so now everyone gets ripped off.

    It does sound like a high quote, you need to phone about 10 companies, or a
    nationwide scrap yard chain.

    I doubt the scrapyard route is viable. I'm pretty sure these screens
    are glued in - err, sorry, bonded in. This makes both getting one out
    and installing one much less DIY-friendly than the
    rubber-seal-and-plenty-of-swearing windscreens of old.
