Windscreen coming unstuck????

[TimTay]

hi all, just noticed something rather worrying, but was not sure where to post it.

just went to stick a cradle onto my windscreen for my phone and as i applied pressure the bottom of the screen moved! so had a look on the out side and where the screen looks like it should be glued/bonded to the car its like a creamy white colour???? almost like the glue aint glueing any more. so had a look all the way round and can see what only looks like a whiteish milky line where the glue should be. is this normal?? maybe badly fitted? will post up a pic when the wife gets home. just rather worried its going to fall out! have noticed a kinda creaking noise when going over uneven ground as well. could this be something to do with it? cheers in advance.

Does not sound healthy

only me! just typical! phoneing my insurance company see what they say lol got windscreen cover! lol

It could well be the source of your creaking but the only way to really fix it will be to remove the screen and re-bond it

The bootlid can also creak on uneven ground.

I'd get the screen fixed asap though as I wouldn't fancy it lifting out when your pelting along the dueller

Pay ur windscreen excess and if all is well they will refund it mate

[TimTay]

just on the dog and bone now. she says if it does not need replaced it would be free being transfered now. so far so good. will prob end up out o pocket tho. normally do lol

Autoglass should be able to do a repair for you FOC under their terms and cond's to service the insurance companies mate

[TimTay]

THEY WONT FIX IT! they say its wear and tear! because its not broken! and there not liable to fix it! aa auto windshields bunch o ******************************* changing my insurance company shortly me thinks. fully comp as well!

so whats the average price to rebond a windscreen?

[aerodynamic18]

I got quoted 120 and that was for a new windscreen too and he came to me. Ring round tho. Autoglass wanted 370 for same job

[TimTay]

phoned autoglass they will rebond it for me for 116 quid. or just shy of 400 quid for a new screen fitted. just gonna wait till it cracks or breaks then pay my 65 quid excess and get a new 1 fitted. just dont have the cash to sort it just now anyone fancie being handy with a brick lol
