desertdude Posted June 20, 2020 Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 Go to Sharjah BMW roads there are many windshield replacement guys on both side of the road. It should be around 300ish for a new one with fitting. I've gone many times to this pace called Batariq on the same road. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frederic Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 any crack smaller than the size of a coin can be repaired. If you don't repair it, it will crack further especially due to the thermal shock here with AC inside and hot weather outside. In your case replacement will be needed. 2 1 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my comprehensive insurance it is covered provided police report is available. I would suggest you to take full insurance. In case car goes for total loss you will get money or else either you have to repair or get the money at scrap price. My friends car had 3rd party insurance. The car got fire due to electric issues. And he had sell at scrap price. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
