lulwut windscreen fail

Chip in my windscreen was annoying. Call windscreen people, who say no problem, we can replace it, we'll order the screen!

They turn up today, remove my old screen (Cracking it in the process) then the guy says ooops, I've got the wrong screen. Never mind, I'll come back tommorrow with the right one as we've got to order it in for you.

And off he goes, leaving me with a car with no windscreen

:confused:

LULWUT?

He was very lucky, I took the Z4 out of the garage and put the 5 in there. He's lucky because the roof motor on the Z4 is broken and until the dealer manually put it up for us whilst we wait for to go in to be fixed it was stuck down and therefore wouldnt have been leaving the garage.

He did offer to drive to his depot to keep 'dry'.

Yea handy, as its currently raining. Good skillz.

[TW]Fox · 26 Oct 2009 at 15:23

Yea. It was the right screen but had the wrong rain sensor connection or something.

tbh i was like FACEPALM and then I was like NOWAY?

Crystal clear and no smears, its great!

Then I got wet when I braked in the garage and the water ran off the roof.

I might go and do something superanal like go and clean the bits of my dashboard I can't normally reach.

INFACT YES.

I've got a little brush that I use to clean inside my air vents - where do I rank on the scale of analosity?

Thats word for word what James May said on Top Gear about 3 years ago.

DENIED.

Post a picture of a loaf of bread half way through where the windscreen should be, just to prove it's your car and it in fact doesn't have a windscreen.

It's not mine, it belongs to my Dad, its all a lie, I drive a Fiesta LX badged up as an ST.

I have a windscreen \o/

I have a gouge out of the paintwork on the top of my wing \o/

[TW]Fox · 27 Oct 2009 at 11:43

I think his glue cutting knife slipped.

They've told me to get some quotes so should be fine. I was actually going to get my wing resprayed anyway...... so sods law has spoken and the wing he damaged was the other side!

I'm off out in a minute to oversteer into a wall.

[TW]Fox · 27 Oct 2009 at 17:23

I'll name and shame once the matter is finished. There is damage to the vehicle and BMW have quoted for its repair, once the matter is resolved I'll happily name them

Excellent news, I had a meeting with a lovely chap from the company today who has authorised my preferred bodycentre to go ahead with the rectification work. As a bonus, which I guess is nice compensation, the bonnet will lose all its stonechips. They need the car a week though :eek:

Corsa courtesy car?

I had a 118d M Sport last time but given I'm dropping it off in the afternoon next week when all the loaners will have presumably left at 9am probably, yes

I'm also getting them to do a few other bits and bobs for me as part of my quest to get it as close to showroom condition as possible

Do BMW go "oh god its him again" every time you roll up?

I bet they love it as they make cash every time

Call head office. They'll pay.

Like they did here, behold the immaculate freshly painted front end

[TW]Fox · 16 Nov 2009 at 17:53

Roof. Bootlid. Oh and most of the passenger side

[TW]Fox · 16 Nov 2009 at 21:57

[TW]Fox · 17 Nov 2009 at 15:15
