wyliss Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 The screen on my car will probably need replacing due to chipping which have been repaired in the past but have now gone worse. What are the ins co's like at you specifying an OEM one? Also is a new screen classed as a claim on your insurance if you decide to move to another company?. I know when looking at other quotes they ask the question 'Have you had ANY other claims in the past five years'. surely this would count as one....:confused: TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupramax Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 What are the ins co's like at you specifying an OEM one? Last time I had one they got it from Audi anyway, that was Autoglass. Cant comment on the insurance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponge Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 (edited) I've had one repair and one replacement on my current car. Both times the insurance company have covered it on my fully comp policy. The only time I had to pay anything was the excess, £50 iirc, for the replacement. I specified an Audi badged windscreen and got one. It took a little longer to get it, but I wanted those 4 rings! I always list my windscreen repairs/replacements when getting insurance quotes and it's never made a difference to the premium. (There's usually an option in a drop-down list for windscreen related claims.) Edited October 29, 2008 by Sponge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kite Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 I've had 2 screens in less than a year (don't ask) I tell autoglass that to keep the audi corrosion warranty OEM glass has to be fitted. I just pay the excess, don't think glass replacement counts as a claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark_90 Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 On some insurance quotes I've done online there is a glass option in the claims bit. I never have though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
