smith and smith would explain it, I have experienced nothing but poor workmanship from them over the years. Broken clips, didn't connect the electric windows, scratches on paint to name a few incidents.

Did they have to pull the dashto do the screen as otherwise what could they have managed to damage just cutting out a screen and glueing the new one in!Mind you it is S&S so just about anything could have happened.Just out of interest is the new screen full of distortion and weird waves etc!If not S&S didnt do the job!

Smith and smith probably cut through some wires they do it all the time one of the poorest places out for workmanship

Join the club, I have had clips broke inside the boot lid so you end up getting lovely cut up knuckle getting that annoying clip. So you that don't get annoying noises. Then coming out with the wrong glass twice or trying to put glass in that is worse that is whats in the car.
