For all who responded to my tail of woe, here is the update...

After making arrangements on Saturday, today Monday) some nice people from a firm called Autoglass took my nice red Corrado away and returned it 3 hours later with a brand new sparkling windscreen http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

Yippee - I can now drive safely when the sun is low in the sky!!! The only problem now is that the rest of the bodywork is looking distinctly shabby in comparison http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/frown.gif

Btw - I now know why I have insurance (apart from the fact it's compulsory!). The cost of a replacement windscreen works out at about $650. All I paid was the excess (about $80 in your funny transatlantic currency)

Dear Mouse: Glad you got a new windshield, guy! Hell of a way to have to come by one, though! You're lucky you had insurance...that's quite a hit!

I understand fully about the "need to upgrade" because it looks shabby in comparison.

I'm happy for you Mouse! Glad you got that new windshield and it didn't take too long either! http://cwm.ragesofsanity.com/otn/happy/auto.gif

What is a Corrado? Never heard of it. I know that a lot of cars outside of the U.S have Eoropean versions called different names. Is there an american equivelant, or is it unique to Scottland.

Anyways, glad to hear that it worked out well for you!

A Corrado is the coupe version of the VW Golf (Rabbit?) Oh and they don't make them any more http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/frown.gif
