QUOTE(kmed @ May 3 2013, 08:52 AM) so there is actually cheaper option for the insurance... hmm, i have no idea why my SA is asking me to insure this much also, i think from our conversation the insured amount is up to RM3K or something... Mine is the same car as you, the SA told me RM100-RM200 only But he also told me the same thing as MrUbikeledek, if crack now, insure next year then claim. But if your whole windscreen shatter then different story la. Windscreen insurance is a rider with your auto insurance. You can claim windscreen repairs also if you don't have windscreen insurance, but at the expense of forfeiting your NCD. If you have windscreen insurance then it will not affect your NCD when you claim for your windscreen.

QUOTE(sleepwalker @ May 3 2013, 12:11 PM) That is exactly what we were trying to clarify as there were questions on what OEM is as the term OEM has been thrown around and overused. If you go back to Ford, they will only supply you with the screen made by their approved manufacturer who makes the Original Equipment (hence the term OE) used on Ford cars. If they don't have it in Malaysia, they will ship it over and hence the increased cost. However, whether you can trust the workshop/service center, that would be another question. We had original Subaru windscreen shipped directly from Subaru factory Japan since none can be found anywhere else in this region (Singapore no stock too) and there is no OE Manufacturers around this region at that time. There is also the Dr Cermin version which cost a lot less but the quality and the original tint could not match the OE. Is there a category of manufacturers that does not supply parts to the carmaker's assembly plant, but is contracted to built same spec replacements locally? For example, Malaysian windscreen manufacturers contracted by Ford to build Mondeo windscreens to Ford's specs, so that they don't have to ship replacements from Europe?
