Getting a Dent Repaired Near Your Windscreen? Here’s What to Expect

A dent close to the windscreen frame isn’t always a simple panel repair – sometimes the windscreen needs to come out first. Here’s why, and what the process looks like.

Why Dent Repair Near the Windscreen Is Different

When a dent is close to the A-pillar or the edge of the windscreen frame, a panel repairer often can’t get proper access to fix it without risking the glass or its seal. Removing the windscreen first protects it and gives the repairer a clear, safe working area.

How the Two Repairs Work Together

We coordinate with your panel repairer to time the job properly: the windscreen is removed before the dent work begins, then refitted once the panel repair and paintwork are complete. This protects your glass and keeps the whole repair on schedule.

Will It Cost More?

A remove-and-refit adds a step to the overall repair, but it’s usually far cheaper than replacing a windscreen that gets cracked or damaged during panel work. Ask your panel repairer or us for a combined estimate.

Is My Windscreen Safe During the Repair?

Yes – once removed, your windscreen is stored safely and refitted with fresh adhesive once the panel work is finished, so it goes back in as securely as it came out.

What About Insurance?

If your dent repair is being claimed through insurance, the remove-and-refit is often coordinated as part of the same claim – check with your insurer or panel repairer about how it’s covered.

FAQ

Do I need to book this separately from my panel repair?

It’s best to book with us once you know your panel repair date, so we can time the removal and refit to fit around it.

Can I choose my own panel repairer?

Yes – we’re happy to work alongside whichever panel repairer you choose, coordinating timing so both jobs run smoothly.
