12-10-2018, 12:14 PM #11With all the leakages I've read about, fitting the windscreen, I had to do some research. I had a quote from a lexus dealer, the windscreen dam adhesive kit and the windscreen dam adhesive was quoted also...
It could be something as simple as the bond being applied to thinly to the body or the glass pushed to close to the body.
The only leaks I ever had to go out and sort was through fitter error

If ur reading reports of leaks then that's down to a fitter or the glass being mishaped not the trims.

Glass costs differ depending how easy it is to make and whether it had diff laminet and or sensors. Factor that with clips,trim and removing/fitting cost its hard to put a price on it.
I've done a screen for a jag XKR and he paid for that and it came to a total of £1000 the clips where £85 a piece
There's 2 ways to cut a screen out, using a kent tool a 90deg blade or using cheese/razor wire. If he's good he should remove the A pillars but if ur really good u won't need to as u shouldn't be that close.

Just give Auto Glas a ring and they will tell you, I would be surprised if its more then £450 to £550 fitted.

12-10-2018, 02:28 PM #20I'd steer clear of autoglass.... to date they have quoted me over £500. I got a price list from a lexus dealer worked out at £260 all the bits, but would have to find a fitter. I have found two companies that will fit it for £160 with the trim included, and guaranteed for life. I'll update you guys tomorrow
