V35 Sedan Windscreen Crack!

[nissan rules]

Well I got the sedan installed with the goodies .. clear side indicators, intense white light bulbs and grounding kit

... pulled the car out of the driveway to test drive and suddenly saw this crack running down from the middle top of the windscreen down like 10cm and then going left and right ..

how did this happen? only movement i made on the car is jacking it up on the front so that i could connect the grounding wire to the tranny.

anyway, now i need some help to source for a V35 sedan .. i'm in Vic

Thanks

*sigh .. not looking forward to the cost ..

or you could get a replacement via Yahoo Auctions.

Being in Vic, you could use Import Monster and pick it up from their warehouse (if via sea) or have it delivered to your door (via air).

Should between $600-$850 if you can wait for the sea container and pick it up from Bayswater.

ok, I've got it all sorted out today, and I'm relieved that it did not cost as much as I thought it would. Was pointed out a small chip where the crack started.

And here's what i've found out for replacing a v35 sedan windscreen in vic so that it could be knowledge for all here ...

o'brien -

they have only 8pces of v35 sedan windscreens in australia and they're in their warehouse in sydney.

would take a couple of days to arrive in melb and it would cost $406 installed

National Windscreen -

can't find aftermarket windscreen for the sedan, would have to order a orginal nissan part

RACV -

quoted $375 if you're their member, $423 if non-member.

said that it is cheaper for coups as windscreens for them are readily available.

Auto Glass Vic -

$265 installed and can do it the next day.

Roy's windscreen -

i went ahead with them as they can get the glass in a couple of hours and have it fitted today for $280.

Call 0417 323115 and they're in Dandenong.

Had a small drama when they found the label on the winscreen saying its for a coup but the supplier assured it is for sedan. And yes it all worked out well.
