Unhappy Windscreen Replacement on A MY98 Turbo!!!!!!!

Some dick in a BMW today managed to kick up a nice stone onto my windscreen cracking it nicely, So today I ordered a new one to be fitted anything special I should look out for/ it is being fitted Monday by Autoglass.
Cheers
Colin

AutoGlass did my Calibra windscreen ..... it never bonded and flooded the car with rainwater.

I watched them and they said it wouldn't bond - I got that in writing, so, when I claimed they paid up

Ask them to fit a Subaru OE part, Colin. Also, make sure that the are careful when they remove the old screen and do not damage or scratch the paintwork surrounding or it will rust like a b1tch

Agree with making sure the paint isn't scratched, my rear screen had been changed before I bought the car, Clearly they nicked the paint as i've now go rust bubbles on the roof near the edge.
