   If you're insured fully comp, most insurers will cover you for a £50 windscreen excess which doesn't affect your no claims. If you're only insured TPFT some companies still do - worth ringing them or checking your docs if you haven't already.

   RAC Auto Windscreens supplied and fitted mine for £143 a few weeks ago. This was for a standard, non-tinted windscreen.

   jeeeeez, bit harsh. That's one of the features I checked first with my insurance, I get rocks and various bits of shit (can of coke last week) constantly. It is getting worse since more pothole equals more rocks flying all over the place. Had a crack last year, £25 excess.
   
   tbh I would avoid an insurance company that doesn't cover the windscreen.

    I originally joined adrian flux because they are modified car insurers, and they dont rape your premium for adding things to your car that dont increase bhp ive had a couple of cars with them so never really wanted to change my policey, there fully comp cover however has windscreen cover

    I'v been with Adrian Flux in the past and they are very good. How long can you live with the crack? May work out cheaper to upgrade to fully comp, wait a wee while, and then cash in on your cheap windscreen?
    
    That may well be a shite suggestion, and possibly illegal, but I reckon it's what I'd do!
