Section D - Windscreen and Window Damage
We will pay:
To repair or replace broken glass in your
car's windscreen or windows, and any scratching to the bodywork caused
by broken glass, as long as there has not been any other loss or damage. We may choose to repair your car
with parts that may not have been made by the
car's manufacturer but are of a similar standard.
Any payment for replacement of glass under this section will not reduce
your No Claims Discount,
(though at your next renewal
you will no longer be eligible for any
increase in your No Claims Discount
according to our declared scale).
However, in order to obtain the full benefit under this section the work must only be undertaken by
our approved windscreen repairer
contactable via Swift Glass Claims on 0871 231 2310*.
The most we will pay:
If you do not use
our approved windscreen repairer,
the most we will pay for any windscreen
replacement claim under this section is £100 or £50 for any windscreen repair.
We will not pay:
- any excess shown
in your
schedule,
unless the glass is repaired rather than replaced in which case no
excess applies;
- to repair or replace any other glass forming part of
your
car including sunroofs;
- to repair or replace any glass that is part of a removable or folding convertible
roof;
- to repair or replace any windscreens or windows not made of glass;
- loss of use or other indirect loss;
- the cost of any alternative transport.
Where your
car is not to
UK specification (originally manufactured
for sale as new in the UK) and any part,
unit, or accessory of your
car becomes unobtainable or
obsolete in pattern and therefore out of stock in the
UK,
we will not pay for the following:
- increased repair and replacement part, unit, or accessory costs due to non-availability
and/or waiting time delivery;
- storage costs awaiting commencement of the repair to
your
car.
Glass excluded under this section may be covered under Section A (Damage to Your Car) or
Section B (Fire and Theft) of your
policy, subject to
the appropriate policy
excesses and with an effect on
your No Claims Discount.
*Calls will be charged at 10p per minute from BT landlines. Calls from other networks or from outside the UK may vary.
