Mini Windscreen Replacement

The Mini is an iconic marque, well known for its popularisation decades ago as Mr Bean’s car as well as the iconic car of the original The Italian Job. It’s a brand we all know and recognise here in Britain, and its fame abroad is also well-known. Mini is an automotive marque first built here in Britain in 1959, but since 2000 has belonged to Bavarian manufacturing giant BMW. The Mini line is manufactured at Plant Oxford, but some models such as convertibles are manufactured in the Netherlands.

Mini was the winner of the Sunday Times’ Motor Awards 2020 ‘Best British-Built Car of the Year’ and according to Jeremy Clarkson was “...one of the best cars I’ve driven all year” despite some flaws.

Interesting facts about the Mini

Mini remains one of the most popular and well-known cars in the UK and has consistently been named as the most popular British car of all time. Its popularity is exemplified by the nearly 500 Mini clubs in the UK, as well as its historic and recent sales estimates.

Mini side and rear window replacement service

Owing to their signature contour, Mini vehicles tend to have highly vertical windscreens and windows that unfortunately attract a lot more debris and therefore tend to crack or experience stone chips more easily.

Combined with the fact that this vehicle is very popular here in the UK, it means that Mini owners often experience cracked or shattered windscreens. The good news, however, is that most reputable windscreen repair and windscreen replacement companies in the UK keep a good inventory of Mini windscreens. OEM manufacturers in the UK are Saint Gobain Securit, or in some newer models, FUYAO has been chosen as the OEM manufacturer.
