Windscreen About to receive my 3rd windscreen

Tony Fendall · 9th May 2007, 16:12

Another screen was hit by a stone and immediately cracked across this afternoon.
So this now qualifies as a 'bug, fault or irritation', £75 worth of irritation.
The screen appears to be about 2mm thick: obviously not thick enough.
That's 3 in 10,000 miles.
Regards
Tony

Do you work in a quarry?

I happened on my way home from the office in Bagdad!!!

That is bad luck! I'd have armoured glass fitted next time.

Is that a suburb of Basingstoke

Tony Fendall · 9th May 2007, 17:07

No, it's a lot safer than Basingstoke.

Did a stone crack the first windscreen? How fast were you driving?
