My Elantra Windscreen Replacement

Being busy this whole week...looks like never ending maintenance work...next is my windscreen. Found a shop in Tmn Indsutri Batu Caves, the boss says replacement wok only takes about 2 hours and windscreen are ready stock. Oh man...he has plenty of windscreen in his shop for various cars!


They have to removed the wiper, the plastic piece in front of the windscreen and what ever items place near the windscreen. Then they will insert a thin wire cutter to cut the sealant under the windscreen, then push the windscreen out.



All rubber linings will have to be pull out as well.


Finally...this is how naked it looks without any screen!


My brand new and original windscreen from Hyundai..


The windscreen will have to be clean before install and at the same time they applied a new sealant.


And finally the most important steps...to install the windscreen. Its one time placement and no taking out for 2nd time or else the whole process have to be repeat all over again. This guys are good..the guy in yellow is the boss!


Finally...I have my new windscreen.


The original windscreen comes with a shade...similar to the new Hyundai YF.


So for 2 days, no washing and no tinted on the windscreen... anyway not to worry, all are inclusive in the insurance claim. Will get it done soon.

I dont have the receipt nor its name card or else would have place it here. But anyway,should you know Giant hypermarket in Batu Caves,there is Petronas station beside it.This shop is just behind the Petronas, next to the shop is a car bodywork/paint shop.

Hi Ritzzuan, is the cost u mentioned (which is about 50% less) include the labour cost? so far no issue for that windscreen?

Ritzzuan said...

The cost is inclusive of labour..but pls dont ask me how much is the labour coz everything is claim under insurance..peace of mind! No issue with the windscreen.

Maybe you are thinking that you have to fork out your money in the beginning and later claim with insurance company..right! Well that is also possible but you can also ask the workshop to claim for you, so nothing to worry . Try look for Dr Cermin or this workshop. Im cover with AMbank.Remember you can even claim your tinted, if you have fitted earlier..its written in the clauses of your insurance policy,endorsement 89.
