Spango Clutched April 21, 2005 Share April 21, 2005 I just got hit by a flying pebble (I think) on my Aveo while I was criusing along ECP this morning! Now there is a 2cm long cross (X) near to my rear-view mirror. Should I get it repaired or the windscreen changed? Does anyone know the cost? If I change the windscreen, does anyone know how much does it cost to replace the Huper Optiks film on the front windscreen...? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spango Clutched April 21, 2005 Author Share April 21, 2005 Wouldn't that break the factory seal? And I heard that usually the replacement seal won't be as good as the factory seal... And over time, water will start seeping in, damaging the interior... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley Neutral Newbie April 21, 2005 Share April 21, 2005 isn't it covered by insurance and reinstate coverage with $50-$100? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spango Clutched April 21, 2005 Author Share April 21, 2005 Just came back from Starsauto... The process looks very leh che... Have to go down NTUC Income and get approval so that Starsauto can quote... And if the quote is approved, then I can send my vehicle to Starsauto for replacement windscreen... I am thinking what will happen if I just leave it alone? After this, don't think I will renew with NTUC the next time round... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spango Clutched April 22, 2005 Author Share April 22, 2005 Okay, just an update... I've decided to send my ride to Tuffi (one of NTUC's authorized workshop) instead to change the windscreen. I have to pay an excess of $105.00 (inclusive of G.S.T)... They say they are using back the original parts... Hoepfully their worksmanship is good...

Spango Clutched April 22, 2005 Author Share April 22, 2005 Actually, I have installed Huper Optiks... According to them, I need to wait for 3 days after the installation of the windshield before I can head down to have my film installed again... That would cost me around $300... Maybe I should take up their insurance as well... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spango Clutched April 22, 2005 Author Share April 22, 2005 The warranty is for peeling, bubbles, failed LTA inspections, etc... Not too sure about now, but during my time, Vkool was offering 5 years warranty while Huper Optiks was offering 10 years warranty... That was why I opted for Huper Optiks.... And they gave me an option to sign up for 'broken glass' warranty which I ignored until now... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
