A big one! From the top of the drivers side to the bottom middle, then spreads along the windscreen wiper park positions to the sides!

Q: How safe is it to drive the car like this?


Q: Any1 know a cheap place in Adelaide for replacement?

isn't it also defectable if the crack extends into the line of sight of the driver?

Is a defect at least in NSW not sure about other states. Had mine done by O'Briens cost me 180.00 and they did it at home 4 me.

Yep - not driving the TS until the screen is fixed. I will pull it out myself and clean up the frame, then start ringing around and get someone to come around - might save some dosh if I do some of it myself. Thanks for your replies gentlemen.

might save some dosh if I do some of it myself.Ring around first, you'll probably find the difference isn't worth the effort.
Might be a good time to replace front speakers when they have the window out, I didn't think of it when I had mine done a few years ago, and I still haven't gotten around to it...

Update!

Ripped the screen out, cleaned it up. A nice man in a van (from Instant Windscreens) came around and glued a new one in. Rang at 10:30 am, screen in at 3 pm. Cost $230, I'm impressed. Consider this a plug for the company! Recommended if you are in Adelaide northern suburbs!
