  1. I've watch this video and i think it's not too hard to be done by myself. Recently i replace the front brake disc's with pads and the engine oil. This i think it will be more ease. Yesterday i make e quote in autoglass.co.uk and they told me a freaking £860 without discount and with discount is $680 which is very expensive for me. Thank you for your advice but i still not find someone to replace it for £160-170 because i read here somewhere this price for replacement front windscreen.

  2. For what it will cost to buy the glass, the tools, the glue, the primer, etc etc - just pay someone else to do it. If you're fully comp on the insurance, it'll cost between £50 and £75. Seeing as the windscreen is a massive safety point, and not just a piece of glass you see out of, unless you actually know what you are doing, don't do it yourself. If you do decide to do it yourself, please don't ever sell that car to anyone else.

    To the second poster. The screen has nothing to do, and is in no what connected to any of the lights in your vehicle. The only connection a screen has in a 1st Gen IS is the wiper heater element along the bottom of the screen. The auto lights are controlled by one of the two small "domes" on the drivers side of the dash board. However, these have nothing to do with your fog lamps. I would wager that there is a leak, that's trickling into the drivers footwell fuse bank, and is the cause of your light issues. If the screen was fitted by a proper company, it will be under warranty, so have it removed, checked, and refitted. If you fitted it yourself, regardless of whether there is a leak or not - have it removed, checked and fitted properly.

    Lesson - don't fit bonded glass to vehicles yourself, unless you are trained and have the correct equipment. I'm all for people fitting indirect glazing (side/opening windows, front or rear screens that are held in with rubber trims and not bonded), but when it comes to bonded glass, let a professional do the work. Even main dealers don't undertake bonded glass work - they subcontract it out. There is a reason for that.

    My insurance is the cheapest and is only theft and fire withou Windscreen cover for that I want to replace it itself.
