United Kingdom 2014 Range Rover Autobiography SDV8 Santorini Black
Screen Crack

Censored



A huge stone has cracked the screen on my 2014 Autobiography. Last week, I curbed a newly refurbished wheel...!

Anyway, I've booked a replacement with Autoglass and told them I want an OEM screen. They're referring back to Admiral to see if they will approve it. I'm hoping so as I've had a multi-car policy with them for 20 years with no claims at all.

Assuming they do agree, how can I tell it's an OEM one and what should I be testing to know that it's all been fitted OK?

See what markings there are on yours - lower passenger side

AFAIK, a full genuine one will say Range Rover on it (like the side windows do). Alternatively, you may get a Pilkington one without the logo which I'd expect to be fine - that's what mine is.

Mine has acoustic & heating logos on it

Definitely push for a genuine or OEM Pilkington screen. I didn’t and now regret it. National Windscreens/Aviva fitted a XYG brand screen to my L405 last year. It simply is not the same quality/standard. It’s 4.8mm glass rather than 5.6mm on the OEM screens. Although it’s says it is acoustic I feel it is not as good at sound suppression as the original.

Thanks for the advice guys. I'm waiting to hear if Admiral (my Insurer) will provide an OEM screen.

Ironically, I checked the cracked one and it's actually a previous replacement, made by AGC Automotive - an Italian company.
