I was in the shower.
Geez! Really sorry to hear that Richard! Someone who's had it done will be able to give you a better indication of price than I could... Don't think it's the sort of thing that can be reused either. Plus, in order to avoid rust appearing above the windscreen (which can be a problem area on these cars and not easy to fix at all) you really do need to ensure the fitting is well done... Really sorry to hear that! 
..(drive other cars) and windscreen cover to mine. £70 excess and a couple of quid a month is so much better than a £2-300 bill from autoglass!£110,Autoglass were dearest,suggest you have a ring round 
£80, i had to fit it myself though.? May not help you directly but if the scumbags make a habit of smashing screens then they may get caught- really sorry to hear that.£120 when it went into the bodyshop, so shop around. fingers crossed you can get it sorted 
Its the only house with a Garage, and they normally use it, but they have lent their car out and are using a Motorhome which wont fit, but they will want the garage back when they get their car back obviously. I was sure I had read somewhere on here that they had to come from Japan and were £700 plus. £100 or £700 though, I do not have it, so I dont know what I am going to do. Im sure its all down to the people who caused me and my friend grief when I split with my girlfriend in January. My friend has a Focus which I drive quite often, and that had its windscreen out through 3 weeks ago. Im sure its connected, but have no proof, so there is nothing I can do about it. (thats if I can) to the car, then claim, because its already happened, but it is something to look into n the future. My policy does give me cover to drive other cars though (I am a named driver on my friends insurance). 
£80! £76 something!£80 worth of jobs they need doing lol?(probably need a professional to do it) and install it on your Mk1 (again using a professional). I had trouble with my Fiat windsceen, I found a mate who works for RAC auto windscreens and he fitted it as a cash job favour (£20). The £700 + windscreen was probably for a supercharger windsceen (different tint) which are not available in the UK. I dont have any breakers unfortunately, I've sent two to the scrap yard with the screens in place! The only other trouble is the windscreen bonding, you can usually get away with using your original bonding... if you cant then it gets very expensive.£150ish from the same place, yes i know where it is, its not far from the mighty sky blues ricoh arena 
bonding is called tiger seal, polyurathene sealant at £6 for a tube. 1 is probably enough.Charged wrote:Its well worth contacting anyone in your local area who is breaking a mk1, you could take the windscreen out of that
- the bonded mk1 windscreens are almost impossible to remove without them breaking.- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UX1jZNWZ ... ed&search=ChavMR2 wrote:Edited to add I have just checked out the link above, and if my eyes are not lying to me, including VAT, a replacement in blue is under

Absolutely no chance fella
Watch this clip

Thats a good price
The next cheapest, fitted is £141 inclusive. Doing it myself is more than llikely the difference between a repair or stripping/scrapping the car.(with a hammer lol)(cheap)(car off road, needed to fix rust above and below screen, old screen was rubbish/worn etc), and it was a right pain (didn't have a cutter) so used an assortment of tools.£40 delivery on top of that, so if you can get some local fitter to come and fit it for ~£140 or less then it's prob a better (easier) deal. Apparently toyota sell a £20 kit with a gasket/surround that holds the new bonding in place (or something like that) but no-one seems to bother using it (the you tube clip for example).(and then Nuneaton) Originally... I will be up there in september and could pop into the place that sells the windscreen near the arena if you could give the name of the place...? 
Thanks. Would be better than ordering.(again) in advance.(top and bottom with eastwoods rust encapsulator before top coat).(obviously a nice gas tower when I was a boy).
