2008 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Manual Java Black
Windscreen Stone Chip

Some charming stone flew up on the way back from our little trip away at the weekend Evil or Very Mad

just above the 1 oclock position off the steering wheel.

Chip and about to cracks of 1.5cm and 1 cm eitherside.

My question about repairing or replacing, its got a heated screen, will the chip have damaged the elements such that is should plan for replacement, or is repairing the way to go?

I know if you repair the windscreen ifs effectively free, but what about replacing on insurance, i have protected no claims on all the other 3 cars except this one as this has its own new insurance, dont mind paying £50 for the excess but...

A windscreen claim does not affect your no claims bonus.
Get a new screen m8 , they never look the same when repaired.


Pluss it will actualy take them longer to repair on a defender than replace it i had one in mine a few weeks agao on my insurance.

I went straight to my insurance who gave me a screen places number to ring which was Autoglass York.

But when i have screens fitted in the past ive also done it the other way round and gone direct to the screen place who just take a copy of my insurance and deal with it there selfs.
