Windscreen reseal cost?? Hope its ok to post this here!

[jamesbond007]

Hi people, nice to be here...

The seal on my punto windscreen is non existent and as a result closing the doors makes the screen slightly jump out. So yea basically i need it resealing. I spoke to autoglass (fancied a laugh) and they quoted ?96 odd to come out and reseal it. I spoke to a more local place and they want ?60 to come out and sort it. Am i still bein ripped off or is this a fair price??

Thanks in advance... 8) J.

I don't really know the market for the UK, but that doesn't sound too out-of-line to me. Try calling and getting a quote for a new windscreen, it might be less, who knows. I bet the have a flat fee for resealing, but I'm sure the price varies by car for a replacement.

I spent almost $200 for a new windshield for my wife's Accord last year. That was taking the car to the shop, not having them come to the car (I live in the country).

Funny enough I'm looking to have the same thing done with my own car. I don't need a new windscreen - Just new seals.

I got quoted $100 for the front and another $100 to do the back window. That's what? About 40 quid? But I'm taking it to them (they're only 'round the corner) so that might be what makes it a bit cheaper. Most of these types of companys have fees for call-outs I would imagine.

Does that ?60 include the seals themselves? If so it seems like a pretty good deal to me. I had to buy my seals seperatly (at $175 each).
