Windscreen
The laminated front glass. Newer vehicles may carry an ADAS camera, a rain sensor, acoustic laminate, heating or a head-up display. Each of those can change the part.

Which piece of glass is it?
The glass on a vehicle is not one part. Use the diagram to name the opening, then send the registration.
A windscreen, a door drop, a fixed quarter and a heated rear screen do different jobs, and they are ordered as different parts. Tint, a camera, a wiper hole or simply the side of the car can split one model into several pieces of glass.
This page is the short version: name the opening, notice what is fitted to it, and send that with the registration. If you are between two similar pieces, a photo is enough. We would rather see the opening than guess.
Chip damage is a separate question from a cracked or missing piece. A small chip can sometimes be repaired. A crack that has run, or glass that is out, needs a replacement. If you are unsure, send a close photo before you order a screen.

What to send the Dublin desk.

1
The vehicle
Registration, make, model and year. A VIN helps on difficult applications, but the plate is the usual start.
-
2
The opening
Windscreen, front or rear door, rear screen, or quarter light. Say driver or passenger side when the glass is not in the centre of the car.

What you can see
Camera, rain sensor, heating, aerial, privacy tint, a wiper, or a brake-light cut-out. If you cannot tell, say so and add a photo.
The openings
A plain-language map.
Door glass
The glass that drops, or is fixed, in the front and rear doors. Name the door and the side. Green tint and privacy tint are not interchangeable.
Rear screen
The main glass at the back, often heated, sometimes with an aerial in the glass. A tailgate screen is not the same part as a fixed rear screen, even on a similar model.
Quarter glass
Smaller fixed glass ahead of a front door or behind a rear door. Left and right rarely match. A photo of the piece, or of the empty opening, is the useful extra.
Dublin desk
Send the registration and which opening it is.
We will come back with the glass that matches the vehicle.
