The RAC only replaced one of the A pillar trims for me, as they only cracked one when putting windscreen in, but they also cracked the corner piece, and took a bit out of the seal that runs along bottom of windscreen.

So anyway, about a month later the same A pillar trim cracked, so I assume their replacement was put on right.

Tip, dont go to RAC, local windscreen company came to replace the screen second time it cracked, and they showed me all the bits the RAC had broken!

Also RAC didnt use a good windscreen, used a cheapo RAC alternative. Which was rubbish. As if it isnt bad enough the R53 had such a curve in the windscreen it is a fair bit thinner than other cars, hence the crack so easy.

Cost me a small fortune to replace bottom seal, A pillar trim, and the corner piece, over £100 this time round.
