VenomMX 4th Gear March 10, 2013 Share March 10, 2013 Wow $100 windscreen. Hope you get the facts right. Is it not the excess paid to insurance to get the windscreen replaced? His facts is right.. It is $100, GST not included.. Insurance not affected in any way, but still must write a short report.. Waiting time approx 2-3hrs depending on the crowd Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metalsubzero Clutched March 10, 2013 Share March 10, 2013 (edited) His facts is right.. It is $100, GST not included.. Insurance not affected in any way, but still must write a short report.. Waiting time approx 2-3hrs depending on the crowd Technically his facts are incorrect.. U are still claiming for the windscreen, $100 is only the excess you are paying.. U are right about the insurance issue.. It's not gonna get affected, but u can only claim once per valid year of your insurance term.. Anyway, it's gonna cost more since the solar film is not included.. I claimed twice but heng under different years.. But still, I changed my front windscreen + solar film twice liao.. Hairline crack will slowly get longer, so OP, best is u get it changed quickly.. Edited March 10, 2013 by Metalsubzero Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalsubzero Clutched March 10, 2013 Share March 10, 2013 Any idea if the inspector will fail the inspection? Why take the risk? I don't think this is under the checklist, but why give the inspector a chance to fail the inspection? He'll most prob see it if it's obvious as he'll be driving the vehicle..
