Replacement Heated Front Windscreen

[Rudolph Hucker]

My windscreen has cracked and needs to be replaced. Its heated and with a rain sensor.
Mini Insurance will only pay if replaced by Autoglass or RAC with £60 xs.
I wanted main dealer to replace it with "genuine MINI" part but MINI Insurance won't pay!!!
Has anyone had Autoglass relace a windscreen? and has it got the MINI logo or is it an aftermarket item?
Or have there been any problems?

I had one replaced by RAC on my last MCS, non-heated, and they used genuine parts

If you ask them when you call, they will tell you if they have genuine parts to do the job, but I think with the heated you can only get OEM part to replace with

Thanks for that Rakey, I feel better now.

be sure to let us know the out come

oh and I should say have a search on here for info about people that have had a windscreen replaced, as myself and few others have had bad luck. As the MINI screen is tricky, and they have been known not to be fitted correctly so bits come off, such as the top seal, and the side pieces if not fitted back on properly. Don't want to scare you, but you should be prepared and clued up in case it happens to you

had mine replaced by auto glass it seem to be working as it should so i wouldn't worry
