Guys.

It happens. How do I know? Mine is out at the moment. And when I was putting in my insurance claim I did some research on this forum and a couple of others and there were a LOAD of similar occurences.

Whilst the replacement glass costs very little, the labour cost to remove the clam in readiness for the bonding of the glass is very high. I have been quoted for at least 8 hours' labour.

If you can remove your own rear clam it will be a cheap (though time consuming) fix, but beware as a simple mistake like overtightening a bolt (and cracking the fibreglass) or damaging the clam whilst it is off or is being manouvered will also be costly.

In short, if I were you I'd buy one of these screens for track use at least. Or put some tape over the glass when tracking your car.

Cheers
