Cracked windscreen in spain

[barsteward]

Thats true but when at at home you have the benefit of time, your own language and can at least ask for advice from those in the know.
I have fitted countless numbers of these screens for individuals and the main dealers.
Remember, vehicle builders and motor manufacturers do NOT make windscreens, they are made by Glass Companies.
99% of main dealers get local windscreen companies to supply and fit screens for them.
In a lot of cases, certainly the “A” class bodies they are hand finished and there are often discrepancies with the aperture where the screen fits.
The screens are probably made by only one glass manufacturer and not made in huge quantities like the Ducato front vehicles, they are identical to the Fiat Ducato vans used by couriers and builders etc.
If you need specific information or fitting company info specific to where you live just ask.

Shame I wasn't aware of you 3 months ago. I can only describe my experience so far as emotional and it's still ongoing.

The manager at Northern commercials iveco dealership in Brighouse nearly had a breakdown/nervous fit today.
The motorhome was in for a full service including new brake pads and a look at a software glitch.
He came into the service area to tell me he had some bad news " I'm so sorry but when we lifted the motorhome we have cracked the windscreen ".
The look on his face when I informed him it was already cracked was of such relief

Your just down the road from me then, well about 20 miles.

Actually that was yesterday, today we are in Bawtry below Doncaster at Premuim motorhomes.
Damp check and a couple of snags getting done.

Eventually we have a date for our windscreen repair.
Next Tuesday.
I'm very surprised that they are coming to us rather than me go to them. What happens if it's raining ?
We are a bit big to put a pop up tent over us.

That does surprise me too, considering the height.

Good luck with it all Gareth & Phil.
Hopefully its an OE screen, and that you don't suffer the same hassle we had previously, with the Hymer screen.

Cheers,

Jock.

For a car or PVC but can they cover a A class?

The one that came to me could have but didn’t need to as it was a sunny day from what o gathered they could extend the legs enough to get above my windscreen however our van is under 3 m high? So I don’t think it would be any good for anything much higher.

they don't usually go to 4m height which would be needed I'd have thought ?
