Quotejust realised the dinosaur on my dash is facing the opposite direction to where i left him? wankers

kierbear

well yea, hes supposed to be facing the outdoors lol u can see 4 tiny footprints on the brown velvetine (nomnomnom) from where he had been previously standing. i guess its a miracle he didnt disappear when the car was on the tow truck with zero windscreen

haha. I didn't read the "New glass" line so I was looking at the first photo thinking "Man I really can't see the crack, must be pretty small" then I scrolled down, now I feel a little stupid.

I would say that would be installation error, either they have installed it with something pressing hard against it at the vibrations cracked it or they somehow put a bit of load or torque on it and the pent up energy cracked it. Get them to redo it under warrenty.

yea. i rang the call line and the guy was like what the??? he rang the napier branch though and lodged it with them. i said, i got it done in hastings, do you not want to let them know? and he said na naiper would be fine. so hopefully they fix it with no charge but that should be the responsibility of hastings shouldnt it? i thought they would all operate indipendantly

Yeah it depends how the franchise works, you would imagine each store would operate independently of each other but maybe warrenty claims are all handled by head office. Or maybe they didn't want Hasting breaking another window so they gave it to Napier.

i would be happy to never deal with the hastings branch again, have had so many bad experiences with them. the only reason it went there is because it was closer to where i was when it broke the first time, so cheaper tow truck fee

shit thats a real pain in the ass,were did they get that laminated screen,it might be too big also a couple of mm makes a world of difference in glass.

went to smith&smith right on opening time. showed them the windscreen. they rekon that the hastings branch (coz i took it to napier and apparantly u can mix and match branches) didnt take all the glass outta the rubbers b4 putting the new windscreen back in. so im going to ring tomorrow morning and ask if i buy new ones, will they fit them at no charge? coz they have to take out the old ones and put them back in anyway. basicly, thyre covering the cost of the new glass and labour coz it ws not my fuck up. they had to ring the hastings branch to see where they got the glass from, the glass thats not ending up in my foot and fingers that is
