Autoglass, same excess. The £200 surcharge is for bodywork if you don’t take it to an LV approved repair centre.

I’ve already asked them about the higher excess, their excuse was it being different tech involved. Think I’ll head to Twitter to ask.

Nope, excess is for windscreens also...Quote from policy :-
"If you'd rather use a garage not on our list, no worries - but it'll cost you £200 in addition to any excess listed on the policy. Remember, the same applies to windscreen claims."

Bummer! Feel for you, it's soul destroying. What was it, a stone? Looks a bit symmetrical around the outside. Mine was a trucks wheel nut.

2 month old car, gutted :( I think it was something off a Land Rover.

Windscreen on order with Autoglass.

I take it you are waiting for one with a Ford stamp on it? I'm happy with my Pilkington replacement, done the day after ordering. The camera works better since the recalibration as well.

It's a Pilkington one.

Apparently it's a shortage item and coming from Germany and a little bit a COVID-19 excuse as well.

Surprised at that, they said that supply wasn't a problem they hold them centrally and it's an overnight delivery job.
Hope you get it soon.
