    Guys... I need advice!

    My MCS needs a new windscreen... whci I hope my insurance will cover.

    It is a heated screen... and like everyone on here, I want a top job with none of thehorror stories that we have all heard on NMS...

    So... to whom do I trust the job in Edinburgh?

    Do you think the insurance company would cover me to go to Eastern? I dont want the typical "autoglas" job... been there...

    Do you think I would get a non MINI replacement screen.... even though its heated?

    Thanks in advance for the advice... I can just see the hassles comming over the hill towards me...

    The heated screen option is part of the Vis pack. Don't know how it works but I do know according to the spec sheet mine has it.

    Yip - the screen is heated and does have fine wires, just like a F*rd... works wonders too....

    MINI's do have heated screens if they have the Vis Pack. It has lots of tiny wavy wires down the screen if you look closely.
