Just been out in the Morgan and got hit by a stone from nowhere that has put a bullseye the size of a pound coin in the screen right in front of the drivers position.
Our roads are just shocking at the moment.
I don't think it will repair as some off the cracks emanating from the centre are between the glass layers.
I am with Headley insurance who will not be about until Tuesday now. I am hoping I can get them to agree a new screen from a local dealer such as M Rutter?
It's also the heated screen so whoever repairs it will need to know what they are doing.
Anyone else with Headley and needed a new screen? If so who did they use to do the repair?

Boy that's bad luck. My work van suffered the same fate last week.

Headley were quite happy for me to use Williams a couple of years ago when I had to replace my 4/4 screen.

That's reassuring Jay - thanks. I think Rutters may be closest to me of even techniques?

Sorry to hear that . I had a stone chip in Jan on the way back from Bicester but luckily it could be filled in.

MMC will only supply the screen and surround as a unit to their dealers nowadays.
I insure through Gott & Wynne , and they paid up almost instantly for the new unit, no bother.
Allon White did the job , but I was not desperately impressed with their mechanics, next time I would use Techniques.

OK techniques are not that far from me - I will ring Headley on Tuesday and see if it can be arranged with them.
I am also toying with getting a screen repairer to look at it but I have never had any real success with that route especially a chip as bad as this one.

My chip was tiny. Yours sounds bad to me. Your insured get a new screen

I`ve had 2 screens replaced - at Morgan as they were my nearest - I paid by card - sent the reciept to Headly having phoned them and the cheque was on the mat 3 days later. Heated screens - about £850 3 years ago.

Took 3 weeks to sort with my plain screen (autoglass)
They don't have a specials dept anymore
also mine was a different (no standard ) surround!
Good luck
