Hi All,
Can someone possibly shed some light on a frustrating problem replacement windscreens? A few weeks back thanks to some poor driving by someone in front of me, a stone threw upwards and smashed my windscreen. Since then the supplier (a large national well recognised company) replaced the old one with a brand new screen. All went fine until I needed to drive on the motorway and then between speeds of 70/80mph I got this horrible whine which I realised was an air pocket somewhere to the top of the screen via the mirror! Not happy.
Calling the company to then explain the fault, they then sent out another guy who replaced the clips as apparently sometimes they said this could be the problem. To me I thought it was a way they could potentially save not going to the cost of a new screen and surprise surprise the noise was still the same.
So last Wednesday a new screen was fitted for the second time and now the whining starts at 50/60 mph and it is even worse! Third NEW screen is going in on Tuesday this week.
My problem though is surely there can't be an issue with these screens on such a level of incovenience I have had - or can there?? I can't fault the service of the company concerned but how can it be so hard not to get such a simple repair right.
Has anyone else experienced issues like this? Manufacturing fault in screen design maybe?
All thoughts/opinion welcome as I'm getting rather fed up now and all I want is my quiet double glazed ride back! :director:
Thank you
