Angry 460 windscreen replacement

Some kids where throwing rocks down from a bridge above the a1089 today and caught my windscreen.

Am i correct in saying that replacement windscreens are a pita and no one would fit them and when they do, they dont fit right? Whats the general consensus?

Oh FFS Andrew!

Afraid I can't help, but I'd try ringing around local independent windscreen fitters.
They tend to be a little more careful, and a damn site cheaper than the big boys.

Hope you manage to get it sorted...

Again!

Hi
They will fit new ones, as I found out with mine, fitters don't like them. Easiest way was to smash it inwards and clean up.

Fitter said it is something to do with the bonding when originally installed.
