i paid 60 quid for a new front windscreen fitted on the 205.

Not through insurance. No dodgy deals. Was through a windscreen fittign company

pay the £50.

it cost me 25 quid to have the rear screen put back in my nova.

take the glass out, breaking it, then pay the excess to have a new screen with tinted strip fitted.

darn sight cheaper than the bodyshop option

Car is going rusty along the top of the windscreen

Remover windscreen (see http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=53058 )

Quick rub down, bit of filler & a few squirts of paint later I could have it rust free

then I "seal" my windscreen back in & break it

Costs £50 excess on insurance for glass

Other alternative is get a quote from a bodyshop. But how good at fitting windscreen do you think bodyshops are? :boggle:
