Mr_GTI 0 Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 After crack the front screen in my VR a few days ago it is now working its way fast across the lenght of the window.What I want to know is:It is tinted to some degree but are there different colours all my windows seem to be a very light smoke tint (no aftermarket job) and did they ever do any VR with a top tint to save being blinded when the sun pops up in between the two visors and the interior mirror?Ta Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 I was in the same boat as you mate when my front screen cracked...All my windows have "tinted glass" printed on them, as well as the front. I also have a top tint too.I just phoned up my insurence who put me though to the RAC auto windowscreen and they replaced it for a like for like window - only cost me £50 too!Cheers,Pete Link to post Share on other sites
VR40 0 Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 same here mate. I had a new windscreen fitted on Friday afternoon. When I rang the insurance company they got RAC windows to call me back and they asked me on the phone if it was a tinted window or if it had top tint. It cost me £60 through my insurers Link to post Share on other sites

Earwig 89 Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Make sure the bottom of the windscreen has a deep BLACK part to it otherwise you will see the edge of your dash where it is not covered and is not a pretty site ;-)Mark. Link to post Share on other sites
