   thats wot this stikaflex stuff is, thats what they also use that in body shops, thats where i got it from! im thinkin of gettin windows tinted if they used film, it will cover the holes, anyone know how much a rear windscreen would cost?

   when it rains the water will run down into the holes and water will get inside the tints (between the window and the film) and it will make a mess.

   excess for claiming through (some) insurance companies is £50. Thats how much it costs me.
   and didnt effect no claims either.

    yeah it would fit, but i'd also recommend Al's method. smash/crack your back window then get you insurance company to send out Auto windscreens etc. when they come, get them to put a mk1 window in. will only cost you your excess and shouldn't affect the no-claims.
