Windscreen Woes - Nissan Primera (2004) - Smileyman
Yesterday I had my car's windscreen replaced. I now cannot adjust the rear view mirror to a position that I can see the whole of the rear window.

Car is a 54 Reg Primera with rain sensor and auto dipping mirror.

The fitter returned today, (full marks for coming back next day)took the cover off and I noticed that one side of the mirror is slightly lower than the other side. I even measured it with a tape measure to be sure.

What to do?? Fitter says all is fine, but I disagree. The mirror is clipped onto the screen, so does this mean the screen could have been manufactured faulty, fitted faulty or is there something else that may be wrong?

I consider I am reasonable in insisting in a replacement fitting. Am I?

Readers comments welcome.

id imagine the clip part thats on the screen must be positioned wrong..although id have thought the mirror would have plenty of ajustment to compensate

look in the corners of the window and compare to the other glass...you wil probably find its not a genuine nissan glass like the others, i think you can insist on having a genuine one fitted...i once had 3 golf screens chip badly on after another, i insisted on a vw glass and its fine now..these pattern part ones are made cheaper so theres more profit for the glass fitters
