Had to wait a few days to order it in, because it is an odd shape, but they didnt do the best job. and the top of the screen shows the underside of the headliner from the outside.
wouldnt recommend

Yer O'Briens is sh!t. went back to them 3 times. Once due to the windscreen sitting to low. twice because it was leaking and they didnt glue the bottom of the windscreen. just sides and top. They also broke all the clips holding the plastic down. There sh!t!
Id use NRMA next!sigpic

If the screen costs more to replace, then the chip repair costs considerably more..
Example: A new screen for most common cars costs us $135 fitted, cost price is cheap so a chip repair would be about $60.
On a screen from a euro car that has radio aerial, light and rain sensors, a new screen would be $5-600 or more, and a repair on a screen like these costs near $250+....sigpic MRDC5S

oh wow, good info. I think I paid around 150 for the chip repair, which didn't work, and after a month I got the whole thing replaced at no extra cost.
The issues were that the top part of the windscreen did not have the OEM black shading (not sure what its called) on the top edge so it showed the headliner. And also the plastic trim surrounds that were glued back on only held for a few weeks before they started coming off.
