Hi all,
I've had a cracked windscreen in the Rallye for a while now and it's gotten worse as I've had the blowers on it etc. and it is gonna need replacing. As the policy I have on the car doesn't cover windscreen replacement Im gonna have to fork out for it to get it thru mot.
I've tried googling it but there seems to be conflicting opinions. Also tried t get auto glass etc to quote online but they won't and I suspect they will charge £ra*e.99 so I was hoping someone had a rough idea of the cost?

You can get a heated front windscreen for about £300 I think. May be a nice upgrade.

Heated windscreen on a 306? Not heard of that before!
Being a Rallye you'll have the crappy pov spec screen as standard (no solar reflect, no rain sensor bracket, not even sure if they get the slight tint!) so should be pretty cheap tbh. I'd say about £70 for the screen, about £50 for fitting. Could've gone up since I had one fitted though lol!

I've never replaced a windscreen before and you know it's gonna sound dumb but I never even considered trying for a 2nd hand 1! Just ebayed it now and I can grab one for about £50 as I'm only after a PoV spec 1!

I wouldn't bother with a used windscreen tbh, will probably already be chipped and scratched!
Cant you add windscreen cover to your insurance? Wait a couple of weeks then get it done through them?

Used a second hand one in mine that me and lee removed from his car before it went to scrap, had no chips or scratches and was better than a huge crack

usually about £100 all in for a 306 screen, I paid £130 recently for the ZX but that came with a new trim which was £30.

Whereabouts do folk recommend I can get this fitted as I've asked a few local garages and they r all saying they won't attempt?

Don't know if they'll be one around you but I used Phoenix windscreens for mine
