Hi All
We are now counting down till friday 24th to leave for our SD trip. Everything going
well except for the stone chip (and lots of rain) i received coming back from the high country 2 weekes ago. Now the chip has grown and is still stretching.
1. Is it worth changing the windscreen before my trip??
2. Is the w/screen safe to take another impact if another
rock or something hits it??
I was holding off till after the trip, but wanted a few opinions. Should i replace this windscreen now??
ps. I lost my fav pair of sunnies around the high country on my last trip, black Serengetis, good luck to anyone who finds them, pretty much brand new..
thanks
Crazie

Hi Ads,
hmmm...I can understand how your crack could warrant sooo many
views, though, having said that I've not actually seen the said crack; , I know you're not the kind of guy to worry about the cost of something, and I'm sure you're probably thinking, "why change it when I might get another crack in the next few weeks" so I guess if it's not too bad, take a chance, though I'd be finding out if you get a windscreen in your insurance policy.
bad luck about the Serengetis, I'm sure some knob out there is wearing them...hahhahaha..

Mrs Al
Well my crack is worth the view, especially with the amount of discussion about it...remind me to show it to you one day, that way you can your own
views to this post hahaha.
Most correct about my thoughts on changing it, not worried about the cost at all, just the logic in spending it twice.
not sure about the serengetis, prob hob knobbing it...

G'day Adam,
Cracked the w'screen in the HJ75 4 years ago coming back from Booroloola. Since then been to the tip (the cape) once,
Bathurst Bay three times and just arrived home from
outback Qld trip (
boulia-Bedourie-
Birdsville and received a few more chips) and the old screen is still there with the crack no longer than at first. (about 18 inches in middle of screen)
Too lousy and not enough time in the day to do these things.
As someone said you will have someone else to think of as well, so fix it and don't be lousy like me.
Cheers,
Bros.

Hi Bros
How are you mate, time is a factor and spending twice is a factor. Am getting a few quotes today
