Cost of new rear/top glass replacement

[Mr H]

Update:

Very helpful chat with both my insurer and Autoglass.

Local Autoglass have them in stock and can replace tomorrow - a 90min 2-person job.
And I only have to pay my £50 windscreen excess (phew).

Now go and buy a lottery ticket.....

Is it not a ‘rear windscreen’ ? I’ve always called them the front and rear windscreens... and the rear windscreen heater / defogger thing

You may be right. I’m honestly not sure but now you mention it I probably use the same terminology. Including heater/defogger thing I was thinking of it more as a glass roof than a windscreen. Although the only opinion that counts is the insurance company.

That’s an excellent result.

Crack in rear large window
My fault

What's it gonna cost me?

The old saying goes: If you have to ask the price,........

Be great to know which insurers are adopting this sensible approach?

Allianz (fleet policy) in my case

Great job to be honest. And it's probably better aligned now than the original one!

Our replacement glass was a much better fit than the factory one. But do check your rear brake light from inside in the dark Rear 'high level' brake light bleed

I had the roof glass replaced at Dartford while I waited (3 hours), pleased with the work, not so pleased with the price as unfortunately not covered by windscreen insurance, final cost £1200
The very next day some children were standing on an overhead bridge and threw something off as I drove under, fortunately it landed just in front of me and missed the car.

Hope you caught it on dashcam and was able to report.

I had mine replaced as it developed a crack of it's own, there was a fault with an early batch of UK Model 3s. At one point they tried to invoice me £290 to remove and replace, but it's not very clear if that was just labour or also parts. Needless I didn't pay, it was a warrenty fault.
Now, when you say 'my fault', go on, tell us

I bought my model 3 in Aug 2019, just seen a crack in back roof panel from the back halfway up. No sign of impact. Any articles I could referenced on the issue you mention?

 

[Rob68]

Good to know I've just seen a crack on mine at the base that seems to have come from nowhere. I'll try the warrant route. I assume you just raised a service request and went from there.

Ive just noticed one at the base of my back roof panel to about halfway up. How did you get on?

I spotted a tiny crack within my rear glass right at the base, tucked inside the black trim around the edge. I only noticed it after investigating when the heating element in the glass stopped working (passed right through the crack). Booked it in on the app, quoted £400ish for a replacement but when I dropped it off and they looked at it, saw no signs of impact, and said it'd be covered under warranty.
