Nm35 Windscreen Replacement And Aerial

[samuri]

My NM35 2002 model windscreen received a windscreen chip an hour ago and the drive time home of 15 minutes has resulted in a crack extending out both sides of 20 cm each and I imagine it will get bigger. Not quite in field of view yet.

1 At what point does this event become claimable?

2 I s the radio aerial built in to the front windscreen?

3 Will the new replacement windscreen automatically have a built in aerial in or must this be requested

4 I Have insurance from Shannon’s but since its 330am can someone confirm that I should be covered for a free windscreen replacement and not affect my policy.

5 Will this have to be ordered from Japan i.e. aerial is included?

Thanks in advance

The Aerial is in the rear left and right windows.

M35 windscreen is the same as the V35 and these are easily available in AUS though O'Briens who Shannons use to do their work... What they do not have is the proper Nissan mouldings. When O'Briens changed mine, they did not want to use the generic mouldings as they looked rubbish, and were able to get the proper ones ordered from Japan thru Nissan Ferntree Gully, from my Japanese VIN number.

5 weeks later, all done..

Pages 20-21 "We will not pay for: chips and fractures that do not affect the integrity of the glass" a bit of a grey area open to opinion.

I'd recommend not saying the word "Stagea". When my windscreen was done with the roadworthy they sent a C34 windscreen even though I told them "M35 same as V35 Skyline"

Cost me $250 fitted.

It's claimable once the crack is in the "viewing" area of the windscreen.

You get one freebie a year with Shannon's.

Definitely use a genuine moulding, and see if they'll pay for OEM windscreen as well, some of the cheaper screens don't have the tint strip, or the blackout for the mirror mount.

If the copper tracks your referring are the ones across the bottom of the screen and up each side that is a Windscreen de-ice system or frost heater if you will run from the switch on the left in the cluster in front of your right knee depending on the year. Mine is a 2002 Axis but the Wife's 2003 does not have this feature, The Radio antennae is a diversity type on the rear Right and Left window in the Cargo area as has been said.

Its bot year dependant, it us spec dependant. The de ice part of of the windscreen was included in cars fitted with the snow pack.
