The windscreen cost is RM300 and the installation cost is RM200..

Ok Ok.. it is normal la for me to listen to every suggestion my friends gave. Besides this is the 1st time it happens to me
I went to pero2 already and have to top up RM200... so I guess I just have to wait for my ins to expire and get a higher premium. Meanwhile maybe will scout around othe shop come Monday.

LOL .. Ya la.. not panicking anymore. Took it as fate oredi. Actually I always wash my car at home but today woke up feel so malas n head to the nearest carwash. Padan muka!
Posted in FnF.. but got TWO replies only. That s why I love k/ so much

Cracked windscreen drove for half a year nothing happen except the crack slowly expanding. The workshop guy said let the crack reach the end of the windscreen before changing

Mine started from one end. Do you mean your workshop guy advice u to wait til it gets to the other end?
You sure got a very high life insurance bro!

Please don't send your myvi to P2 SC for windscreen replacement. They will charge you kaw-kaw for that. FYI, SC do not provide windscreen replacement service. What they do is that your car will be sent to a different workshop for the windscreen replacement, and they will just charge you double for that. Why do you want to send to SC when you can skil the middle person and go direct to windscreen shop? Also, your $300 cover may not be enough. I asked a shop last week and they quote me $300++. you may need to top up a bit for the workmanship, but I can guarantee you its wayy cheaper than what P2 quoted.

Another thing, you might be unlucky because nowadays insurance companies have tighten the procedures for windscreen replacement. These days, you need to do a police report in addition to the insurance cover note, car grant, ic and driving license. Not the normal police report, but traffic police where the accident took place.

Worst is that, the company no longer allow workshop to take the pictures themselves, only the company staff are allowed to take the windscreen before and after photos. Really sohigh rules these days. But thats probably just me.

Ok I m done crying. Thanks for the useful info. And when you mentioned company, do you have any company as referral in particular? Or does it refer to all? Mine is eTQa Takaful by the way.

tht consider small crack..
my dad car..left side crack..right side also crack..

Mine is AmInsurrance (Ambank). The new rule was told to me by the mechanic doing my windscreen. He told me a lot of insurance companies are doing this procedure due to rampant claims for windscreen. Obviously, they're just adding more beurocracy and procedure to make it difficult for us to make claims. Yea, Takaful seems to be doing this kind of procedure as well, but don't quote me on this. Visit any windscreen workshop and ask them about insurance claims. If they can do it for you, they should know what requirements are needed for your particular insurance company.

Personally, I might just consider leaving the cracks for now if I were you. It doesn't look too serious or large. The tint actually helps to prevent the crack from growing bigger, but it will be if you often bump into potholes and follow big lorries too close. Speeding shouldn't be a problem since outside wind pressure doesn't harm the windscreen integrity. If you must know, car windscreens are made to withstand quite big amount of pressure from the front due to its convex shape on the outside. Its weakness is in fact from the inside. A slight bump to the head will easily crack your windscreen. Heck, my 4year old son cracked my 2.0L car just by bumping his melon to it.

I have two star crack and not a single sosej is given.

Myvi can meh 180km/h?
Borrow my friends one habis habis tekan pun 170 je, tu pun lepas beberapa minit...if not forever 160

Okeh.. Thanks a lot. Lotsa info I learn/found out today. Never bother until it smacks you right on the face.
Will go and scout for wndscreen specialist on Monday

I always fetch my mom+siblings to and fro.. so the sosej given is for their safety. If me alone then I won't give sosej too I guess.

160km/h.. typo

Single layer - when it crack, it explode
Double layer - when it crack, another layer will protect it from explosion

Single layer happened to me on highway when I drove 110km/h, true story.

Oi sayang ntan payung.. although I am also a noob.. I do know Single layer or double layer meant the type of windscreen you have installed in your car.. Not as the way to describe how the windscreen exploded
