It's a no - brainer!
(1) Sue the *** off who ever fitted the screen, as they were responsiple for putting it all back together properly.

(2) There are plenty of cars in the breakers yards now as the insurance companies write them for minor damage due to lack and expense of parts.

Did you use your insurance to replace the windscreen? If so, put the problem in their court, thats what you pay them for. They maybe concerned to hear the windscreen replacement complany they use are shoddy cowboys.

thank god , got new trim £80 shes back to her former glory if you ever have a screen fitted make sure there is no gap between the trim & screen, the tinyest gap will blow it off,, and you carnt even get them from chrysler, they are on back order, 2/3 months wait at a cost of £350, MAD rip off.
