While on holiday in Bavaria last summer, we discovered a two-inch crack
in our windscreen that, within a day or two, had developed into a foot
long crack. As soon as we discovered the crack, we contacted the car's
insurers about a windscreen replacement and were advised that we should
not be concerned and we could safely have the screen replaced on our
return to the UK, around 1500 miles later.
Cheers,
Luke
