Mine was replaced when I brought it from Berybrooks, they sourced the windscreen from MMC. A windscreen specialist in Exeter fitted it, the top rail clamps the screen and the rest is bonded in.They said that they fitted thin double sided sealant tape to each clamping rail so it did not crush the screen and allowed for expansion, previously did not have this and they though it likely why it had cracked in the top corner. They did a very good job and no leaks.

Was it not covered under your insurance?

£1400 to replace a windscreen? Ye Gods!
Next time I go out for a drive I'm going to put several laters of bubble wrap over my screen!

I have windscreen cover, so no drama, but I did not want any old mass repair outfit near the car if it was even remotely half complicated. I'll talk with the insurers and see what they have in mind to repair.

The screen cracked on my 4/4 Sport (they all do that Sir...) and it was covered by my insurance. Gott & Wynne siad much better to take it to a dealer or a Morgan specialist rather than one of the windscreen companies for the reason that they know the Morgan quirks.
