I have a 95 C250 in light metallic blue (don't know the name of the colour)

The windscreen has a blue sun strip at the top but I can't work out what colour tint is on the glass

I have held white paper against it and I don't know if I am a bit colourblind but sometimes it looks greeny and sometimes blue

anyone know :confused:

I do not think that you will ever find out this one, as it looks different in different lights

its cracked and autoglass are supposed to be replacing it

after other dealings with them though I thought it best to be on the safe side and tell them what colour it is

they made a right town halls of fitting the windscreen in my Mk1 golf

This might be a really stupid question, but, why did you get them to do the job after they had already screwed up on one of your cars previously?

You would think that Insurance companies would allow the safer option and offer the Main Dealer as an alternative, wouldn't you?

Mind you, can't think that Main Dealers would offer a 24/7 callout.

So - we are all stoofed and have to put up with shoddy Autoglass :(

Not at all. I use a local company and it works out that I don't have to pay anything. for a replacement screen.

Would you like to share it amongst the members, Helen? It may avoid them suffering Great Pain and Discomfort.
