I had a screen crack soon after I got my Xtreme on the road. I contacted Footman James and they passed the claim on to their preferred windscreen repairer. (Someone like Autoglass)
I happened to have a trip to QSC Loddiswell the next day so I just got the screen replaced, at my own expense, while I was there. This wasn't a great fit as the bottom edge touched the scuttle at the sides, but there was a 3-4mm gap in the middle. QSC just filled this with sealant. The day after I got back, Autoglass called to arrange replacement. I explained it was a kit car with a unique shaped screen. They weren't at all phased as they can get flat sheets of glass and cut it to fit on site using the original screen as a pattern. By then I was kicking myself, as they would have replaced the screen under insurance and it probably would have been cut differently to fit better than the one supplied by QSC. My advice, speak to your insurer first.

Woe is me! Little cracks in the lower corners of my Xtreme windscreen recently grew to the top meaning another dead screen. That's 2 broken duing the build, and now the third broken in 4000 miles use. Not one of them from stone chipping either. I made sure there was no point loading or bending on the screen caused by the upper and lower frames last time I fitted a new screen about a year ago, so I've no real idea why it broke again. Anyway, just ordered a new one from Quantum, and while they've only got the standard ones at the moment, albeit now at over £30 more than they were before, the next set they have ordered will be thicker. How much I don't know, but hopefully thicker screens will be stronger. Add postage at £40 to the £80 for the screen, and vat on top of that, and it's now getting pretty expensive. I wonder if I can claim on my insurance - I have the club linked FJ policy. Any ideas? Doug -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quantum Owners Group" group.
