I seem to remeber it was something outrageous like $750 for a whole new windscreen, otherwise you could try a wrecker.

Why do you need to replace it akumi, most chips and cracks can be reparied and for a fraction of the price

thanks for the tip, slither, which wrecker would be good in melbourne?

How big, and where is the crack if there is one?
I've dealt with Novus Windscreens, they do work in most major cities, and they come to your home. I've had 2 cracks patched up and hidden by about 80% by them, one was very long (25cm). They charge around the $70 to patch up cracks....

They could also probably do that windscreen cheaper!
If you get a quote for a new one of them, can you please post it up?

God luck

what was the name of that famous Australian window company, obrian, obryn or something?
I remember someone was saying that they paid for a new windscreen $200 from that company.
