Hope someone can give some advice. A short while ago our car would not start, it was towed to the garage and after testing I was told that the Control Unit in the dashboard had packed up due to water damage from a leaking windscreen.
The windscreen had been replaced about 16months ago by a well known company but presumably the glue used did not set properly in a small area at the base of the glass and water has been slowly seeping in.
I now not only have to replace the windscreen but the cost of the work and control unit will come to appx £2,000. My question is am I able to go back to the windscreen company and claim the repairs from them or would they only be liable for the windscreen but not the ensuing damage?
Any advice would be most appreciated !
