It is widely thought of, that these ‘price control mechanisms’ which largely regulate the windscreen insurance claim values, act, in a significant way, to sell more aftermarket ‘copy’ glass and deny the consumer the benefit (and option) of genuine parts (OEM).
The underwriters add to this by adding in some terms and conditions to their policies which only become clear in the event of a claim. This is a salient point and should be discussed and made clear before an insurance proposal is accepted.
