Windscreen Prices

[danvanman]

Hi Buga's, I've just worn my windscreen due to winds from hell on my way to work in Thredbo, thing is the quote in Jindabyne to fix throu windscreens o'brian is $470.00 fitted. Now I know it's a beddy and I'm out in the middle of nowhere sort of, but I was expecting more like $300. What do you guys think? Any suggestions?? Cheers

i think that sounds like you live on antartica or something. hey i wonder how much it would cost to freight stuff there?

[danvanman]

Using normal post frieght is pretty good, but I dont think they'll get the Beddy windscreen in the letter box. lol

Oh well, I guess I'm on my own on this one due to no one here having any idea's. I got a quote for $275 but would have to drive 60klm without a windscreen, so I got the origanal quote down from $470 to $350.

$350 sounds ok,
get windscreen option on ur insurance policy ive got it on NRMA policy
i carry a new windscreen  rubber in the rear of my van so they can fit it if u ever need.
hopefully i wont.

Hey Ben, I was going to were my ski gear, goggles ect and have a moto helmet as well, but glad i took the soft option of $350 as it's pissing down rain now and could be for the next few days. And Marty I know it's bad but I havent had any insurance other than CTP for about 13 years. My bad.

If it's that much $ - they should include a new windscreen seal as well. Make sure you ask the question.
From memory, I paid around $250 (including a new seal) delivered and fitted at my house..I think that was O'Briens
Was about 2 years back, so memory is slightly faded - sorry. Good luck

so O'Briens has seals?

i had a new or near new windscreen come with mine but the seal was cactus on the old one.

what price do you guys estimate for just the seal and fitting?
