Hi all,
Where is the best place to go, or come to you, for a windscreen replacement in Melbourne. I had a place in North Melbourne do it last time with a Genuine Ford repl', but it was fitted so badly, they had three goes at fixing it. It always had wind noise that I never had before. Today on the Tulla' fwy, I bloody rock fell off a truck, dinted the bonnet, and a 3 cms chuck out of the glass. Was also wondering, are the B series and A series windscreens the same, AU has the rubber strip at the top, and B series doesnt. Is the strip for decoration or has a role to play in noise? Its not a water seal, so not sure. Thanks Ray

Hi Ray,
Long time no see. Hope you are well. Sorry to hear about the car. I've also heard about Wizard Windscreens. They came to my workplace for someone else last year and I had a chat with the guy. I asked about a price for my SR sedan and it was pretty cheap, but I've lost the card he gave me with the quote so I can't say for sure. They replace the rubber strip on AUs, which some don't do, rather than reusing the old strip. The guy asked me to ring around other places before ringing them, so I know he was confident that their price would be good. The lady was happy with the job they did. Let us know what the cost is if you call them. ALSO, Your comprehensive insurance may have free windscreen replacement. Check that first before calling the other mob. All the best with it. GK
