auto glass idiot

[blackbob]

had to take the disco back to auto glass cos the window they fitted don't go up and down any more
so sat for an hour and now it goes up and down but does judder a bit so it wont last long till it sticks again
was told it needs a new mechanisum or frame to stop it sticking
think i'm button up the back or something
what a plonker there fitter must be to say that
think there pattern glass must be to big was my reply cos didn't have any prob till they fitted there glass
so think a call to the insurance so i can get a genuine glass fitted and send them the bill

The glass can certainly vary in thickness. We had a customer buy a screen seal for a Morris Minor from us. He complained it didn't seal properly. When we looked at the car, it turned out the screen was only 3mm thick  :shock: Apparently had a label on it as made in Taiwan! Can we not make *anything* in the UK anymore?

Of course, there is no guarantee that the 'genuine' one will be any better. Land Rover, like all others will buy from the cheapest source. When was the last time you actually got a Lucas part in a Lucas box? Or a Lockheed part in a Lockheed box? They are all buying from overseas now rather than making the stuff here.

Have to have genuine VAG glass in mine, have a damaged os windows (BIG score in it thanks to some chav who thinks its funny) No one else seems to be mad enough to make glass that bolts to the window regulator :)

But I'd almost put money on it that the component wasn't made in the UK. Lucas generally buy in items to fill their boxes. They manufacture very little themselves in the UK any more.
