Hi folks
Had my windscreen replaced via my car insurance company in early January this year . Paid an excess of 75 euro to have it fitted
On Friday last i came out to my car and a puddle of water had appeared on the passenger side floor .
I brought it to a garage and they fixed the problem for me for 108 euro
The cause of the problem was down to the fitting of the replacement windscreen . It had not been done 100% correctly and water had been building up and eventually had to come through somewhere .2 panels between window and the end of the bonnet also had to be replaced .
Bad workmanship by the windscreen replacement company the garage informed me, and have stated this on the invoice as the cause of problem
Is it possible for me now to seek compensation for this 108 euro from my insurance company or should i have advised them of the problem before i got it fixed . Or will the insurance company wash their hands of it and tell me to deal with the windscreen company directly. But i could only use this windscreen company as per the insurance company.
It only 108 euro but its the principle of the matter
thanks for any pointers or advice you can give me
