Hey everyone!
Just wanted to say I'm new here
I bought my car in June of last year, its my dream car! Worked hard to get it and paid cash for it at Arnold Clark. Before they had the car, I checked the MOT etc on the MOT I saw that it has a crack in the windscreen, just an advisory. Nothing major, but it's still a crack.
Went to Arnold Clark, checked over the car. Few problems which were fixed, but when it came to the crack in the windscreen. I asked Arnold Clark to fix it for me as I could see it and be told I would get a message from the manager. A few days later I get a few text messages from the Manager which still have the messages.
To say, "Sorry about the glass, I thought we would of fixed it as it passed MOT without any advisory's but we don't have the facility here to get it fixed. Only the garage we had to car transported from but my advice is go through insurance as it wont effect your no claims"
So I did and they got National Windscreens out to me today. Nice bloke called Mark, he was straight up with me and said "cant fix it mate, they did a bodge job with tiny bit of resin and UV light. It hasnt actually gone into the crack only sealing the top of it. If I have to get the resin out id have a big risk of completely cracking your windscreen. It would have to be a brand new one. But problem is, It wont have the BMW stamp and I'm pretty sure your insurance wont cover an official BMW stamped glass you would get an aftermarket glass which is the same strength and quality, but it could devalue the car abit if you do come to sell it."
So I'm asking what should I do? The crack isn't massive, probably the size of my pinky finger nail and its on the passenger side. So should i ignore it? Just wait for it to completely crack and get an aftermarket one or get an original?
Looking forward to hearing all your thoughts!
Thanks!
