Quoted text "Autoglass... would have replaced the screen under insurance and it probably would have been cut differently to fit better than the one supplied by QSC."
Chris, you are a brave brave man. My blood runs cold when I imagine an Autoglass windcreen fitter holding a sharp knife coming within 10 feet of my beloved. With respect to windcreen fitters everywhere, I doubt many of them will know exactly how to approach replacing an Xtreme windscreen, and I find it very hard to believe they'd have the time to make a cut on site screen fit better than the Quantum one. Their bread and butter is OEM bonded in screens, and had you been stood next to me as I witnessed a supposedly trained fitter replace the windscreen on my Saxo VTR many years back you might understand my concern. Total butchery, no respect, no care, wrong tools, paint damage, not even an OEM windscreen fitted, and my poor car was only 2 months old! Shudder. If FJ won't just reimburse some of the cost and let the expert (me) do it then there's not much point in having the cover on the insurance. I wonder if I can get a discount if I have windscreen cover removed? Not likely. Supposedly Quantum are now using a different supplier, and as mentioned earlier, the next batch of screens will be thicker, so hopefully this windcreen breakage issue will consigned to history. If the car sells then hopefully this will be the last time I have to do it. As regards the lower frame I do have that already. If you're adding one make sure you position and mark it with the screen and lower seal in, as if it's too far forward or backward in the centre then you'll apply a bending load to the glass, and that won't help the breaking issue at all.
