Windscreen replacement

Hi all,

Possibly not posting this in the correct place so please move if necessary.

I have a large-ish crack in my windscreen, noticed after I'd been for a decent drive today to visit family. It wasn't there when I set off, or when I filled up with fuel, but I noticed it when I picked my Dad up (naturally, I'm blaming him for it :D).

So, anyone had their screen replaced and anything I should look out for/request? I did find a thread relating to the i30N plus a near 3 year old i20 thread but neither were too helpful. My insurance excess is £180 for a full replacement if I use their recommended supplier or a contribution of £125 if I go off-piste.

The screen replacement itself doesn't overly bother me but there's a lot of gubbins stuck to the screen that any of my previous cars weren't modern enough to have been equipped with so I have no idea if these are likely to cause any issues. One of the threads mentions calibration, but another comment says this isn't necessary??

As always, thanks in advance for any gratefully received comments 👍.
