the baron Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 Was very nervous before they arrived but both chaps seemed knowledgeable and had done plenty of Porsches in the past (National windscreens), they took due care and attention and I can now see through it, 22 yrs of chips, milky corner due to the laminate getting water ingress and a nice crack due to my falling branch incident a few weeks back. Hopefully won't need to repeat the process for another 22yrs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey P Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 Good to hear a positive experience about a windscreen replacement, instead of the usual nightmares that tend to get reported, nice one mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive been putting off the change but had to, due to the crack sustained by the falling branch, there are some absolute horror stories out there.

I had the previous car's replaced with OE glass and it went smoothly with the national franchise who did it. All comes down to the pair of hands dealing with it on the day I guess.

Yup, took them 4 attempts to get mine right. But i have to say the final technician that came out was great, fitted the screen and trims perfectly so i think it's definitely luck of the draw.

Terryg Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 I had mine done by one of the national companies, they asked me to bring the car in to their workshop as the prefer to do it with the top down, technician who did it was really good no issues at all. The main advice seems to be don't accept anything other than OEM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
