Call anyone other than O'Briens, unless glass has gone up dramatically in the last 12ths their price is at least $150.00 too much. Daryl

If you want a second opinion on repairing it talk to someone like Novus who specialise in repairs rather than replacements. For the cheapest place to go for replacements, which won't be O'Bwein, talk to your friendly neighbourhood crash repairer (who may even do their own). I'd be very surprised if you couldn't get a Dunnydore windscreen supplied and fitted for well under $300. -- John H
From: Jock on 5 Aug 2010 07:32 Novus are the go. Avoid Instant Windscreens - they stuffed my rear window - no sealant across the top of the window = a bootload of water. Drugs I suspect. Also: NRMA glass cover is a good option if you are in the mood for NRMA comprehensive. No excess, no NCB penalty.
