Title: Replacement rear window
Post by: eye30 on March 20, 2012, 19:19:49: Had my rear window replaced today.

It was done under warranty so FOC.

At the last service it was pointed out that the glass was starting to "laminate" so a warranty claim was submitted and approved.

Has to wait until now due to the car being at the repairers on and off for last 4 months :whistler:

Now all I need is a downpour or I could hose it down to check that the water seal is OK

This work was done by the Hy dealer who I have 200% confidence in.

Just checked. All ok and they are so warm I can even toast bread on the elements
