rang windscreen obriens today to find out how much to put the front n rear windscreens back in I supply the screens n new rubbers $590 she tells me wtf I said your kidding right?? she then tells me oh but it takes 1 hour and we have been around for 80 years we use the latest sealant bla bla bla I said that's way to dear she then says wait a minute I will see what the boss says then she comes back and tells me $330 

 

I mean i don't mind paying for a service but frOck me i don't want to be reamed up the ass for the privilege for 1 hours work lol

My window guy installed my window glass in my wifes 73 VW for $50 a piece with us supplying materials. I'd shop around just on principal alone. They must rip off people who are unaware of reasonable rates all the time.

 

yeah will do just cant believe $590 if i didn't know any better and just agreed to have it done instead of questioning her that's what i would of paid...

cheers mate will keep them coming

[bullitA9X]

$590 haha she must've included the 2 screens at that price!

 

yeah that's what I thought but she assured me that was just for them to put them in I would hate to see the bill with the screens included lol...

Give it a go yourself mate, if you can build a car you can pop a windscreen in.

I could definitely do it mate no probs but im not confident on getting it to seal so I get no leaks this car is prestine around the window channels so I need it done properly....

Yeah I had to get a windscreen replaced after getting frustrated trying to reverse our camper trailer, and I found that even with their "cheap as we can go, discounted to the max price" they were still about $100 more expensive than the next most expensive.

 

They must make an absolute killing from idiots that only make one phone call.

[bullitA9X]

Windscreens will be in tomorrow arvo.. brake master cyl is getting done aswell should be ready monday...

[Potta]

I would have if you'd told me :-)

 

I think I've used him in the past actually, but from memory I went with Instant Windscreens that time.

 

I think it was $330 instead of $500+ that O'Briens wanted, can't really remember but I know it was a LOT more!!

[Bernie]

Potta .Reckon it would be around $220- $260  from Paul fitted .Take about 10 mins tops to get it done .Clean it all up where the new one goes in and he will whip it in in no time .Doesn't like using Goo though .You will have to insist on it .

lol potta well got windows put in today rubbers were really good from rares but the chrome locking strip joiner pecies are at the wrong angles take a look at the pics originals on the left rares on the right we got them in but they don't look to good I tried to use the originals but as the chrome rares locking strip is rounded and the original is more square we had no chance...

 

[Stinga]

join the rare spares parts rage list... its almost funny how they are the complete opposite shape of what they should be. might be worth trying to find some other locking strip that will fit your original corners if possible.

 

nice car by the way

[eyepeeler]

Welby and The German have the same issues. Not good. I don't understand why they even put the corners in the kit if they know they are wrong.

Looking good though Daryl. Will be sweet when done, you don't need me to tell you that though LOL, you know it already!!
