What moves the price
- ADAS camera recalibration — a car with a camera behind the windscreen needs recalibrating after the replacement, which adds cost.
- Extent of the damage — damage that has reached the frame or seals adds work beyond fitting the windscreen.
- Make of the vehicle — some makes need a specific windscreen that is harder to source and dearer to fit.
- Windscreen features — heated, acoustic or tinted glass costs more than a plain windscreen.
- Size of the glass — the bigger the windscreen, the more glass and adhesive go into the replacement.
- Complexity of the installation — trim, wipers and sensors that come off first add time to the windscreen replacement.
