I guess if you take screen insurance when renew and within the year you claimed insurance for broken screen, then you need to take photo as proof that you replaced it of you top-up to continue to have coverage for the remaining car insurance coverage.

If you always claim insurance, pretty sure they will ask you all sorts of things.

No need for photos if you bought windscreen insurance from when your car is new.

If yours is an old car without windscreen insurance but want to insure it now then you have to submit photos.

This is to prevent cheating. There are dishonest people who buy it after the windscreen cracked and then make a claim.

People with hairline crack renew insurance with windscreen coverage and after a while just whack the glass to claim insurance usually.

My CR-V's windscreen recently cracked. I insured it from new.

I just make an appointment with the anthorised dealer, submit the documents, sign a form and they do the rest. By end of the working day I got the car back. 😊

Change is very fast. Average around 1 ~ 1.5 hour can replaced.

Best place to ask is the windshield repair shop. They will definitely know which insurance is best.

Insurance tracked your record. If always have replacement, then they will start scrutinized. Same like credit card companies. Something out of pattern, then they will even call.

Not necessarily true..u can claim every year they will not check if everything is true and no fraud.

the only chance is they might reject ur renewal but usually they wont.
