Rear window repairs

Post by Ellie-ann » Tue Apr 07, 2015 4:55 pm

Can anyone please recommend a garage in East Anglia where I can take my car to have a repair/replacement plastic rear window fitted. I have seen offers on e bay where you send it off, but I would prefer to have it done locally

Many thanks

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Sorry I can't help you with the window.

You could use one of the services on eBay that install it for you at your home...I'd imagine it'll be much cheaper than using a garage...

I rang around a few upholsterers and found one that also did rear screens :-)

That sounds ideal. Not too happy about sending it off to get it repaired. Can you let me know an upholsterer and the rough cost?

Mine was £70, but that was in Loughborough in the central Midlands

Loughborough would be perfect as I work up in Leicester occasionally

MGF Mania will send you a glass screen and panel and any cabable person will be able to fit it in a few minutes.

You would be much better off getting a glass screen as talkingcars says, and if you can get to Bromsgrove i will fit it for you, it would only take an hour :-)
