Windscreen replacement

    My windscreen needs replacing, decent sized crack coming from the top of it. Two questions.....

    I assume any normal windscreen place will take motorhomes in?

    With the standard Dolmen policy, is there an excess on windscreen claims, and will it affect my policy in the future?, i.e does it count as a claim on my policy

    Thanks

    You have to use a Dolmen agent too. Say you sourced the glass yourself for ¼ the price Dolmen wouldn't cover it. :rolleyes:

    It doesn't really matter if they are paying for it. They will approve vendors that are not on their list if you give them the details beforehand.

    I sourced the side glass myself and the local guy preapproved with axa me supplying it. I'm bet he charged them full whack for it though.

    I had a rear window replaced:
    Mercedes quote OEM toughened glass shipped from Germany: €100 inc. VAT
    Autoglass quote laminated, cut in store & installed: €400 inc. VAT, covered by Dolmen, re-tinted the other window myself after they scratched the tint off using it as a template.

    I imagine it will affect your policy, its a claim regardless of you having windscreen cover.

    I imagine if one makes a claim the following years insurance renewal will have a nice premium increase?

    Not with Dolmen. It doesn't effect the premium.

    Feckers thats a joke, local place tinted mine too in the replacement. Funniest bit was after I collected the van I came out of the supermarket to find the guy cleaning my window. The tape they use to stop it moving while setting had left some residue he spotted it as i was driving off and followed me.,, now thats service :D
