thats a bit odd, touch wood mine has been ok, same screen since i bought it over 4 years ago.

Starting to go at the edges though the glue has turned wide at the corners, guessing cause oxygen has got to it.

But one lasting less than a year does not sound right  :-/

Not fitted by RAC was it?  ;D

Was fitted by autowindscreens, you know the other big firm ::)

I do think it is a slight flaw in the glass but dont stand a hope in hell of getting the screen company to accept liability cos its impossible to prove >:(

norwich union own both rac and autowindscreens but i heard norwich union is going by the new name of arriva.
auto windscreens aren't good at fitting miggy screens as 4 yr ago my old tractor went back 4 times for the rubber to be put back correctly and on 5th time had a new screen as it was delaminting on a corner
