Does the insurance not cover the windows? I ask because if it does, then who cares where the glass comes from? My policy states that all windows are covered, however, until the time comes (hopefully never) one never really knows.

At around £4,000 plus fitting from Carthago an insurance claim might just have quite an effect on future premiums........

Windscreen claims don't normally affect premiums.

My mate had his E Line one done by Autoglass OEM one was 3 month delivery as he was going away he had a pattern one fitted, they came prepared with new plastic side trims and did a good job.

But other people I know have been disappointed wiylth patteren screens I think it's pot luck

Ah, yes, I imagine it would. The insurance mafias will crucify you on renewal.

As Lenny said windscreen/glass claims usually have no effect whatsoever on NCD or premiums as they can just go without any 'fault' on any party.

Hi,
Where did you get the price of £2,500 Inc or plus vat?

No they won't, when I've flagged up that we've had to claim for a windscreen in the last 5 years (on a car) they say it doesn't matter and has never affected any premiums or NCD.

Does it not depend on the insurance company? As a matter of interest I could only find 2 companies which would quote for a Liner for Two..

Well that's good to know, I was not aware of that and if it ever happens to me, I sincerely hope you are right.

My last Hymer a B678DL I saw the invoice from Travel World to Autoglass it was £2044 +vat.

Sadly, if you don't read the small print then you can get caught by assuming your covered.

E.g LV insurance, buy direct from LV windscreen cover upto market value of the vehicle. Buy from a broker ( think it's called Highway insurance) then windscreen cover was £600 when I looked a couple of years ago. So always go direct.

The only restriction is usually if there is a limit on the cost of replacement, eg Highway as mentioned above is one who don't give anything like sufficient cover even for a standard van windscreen. If you take out insurance you always have to make sure it has sufficient cover for your needs/likely needs.

That's more than likely to do with the MH value rather than anything else.
