It's bonded to the car with a sort of mastic type compound. Just had to get one done on another car last Friday - first quote £807 + VAT......

if its insured or if you get it insured then you can get the screen replaced that way... though would have to wait till its all back together or they will think you are taking the mick!

The Windscreen is bonded to the car body with a Urathane adhesive, this is one reason why the M3 has a stiffer chassis than a normal E30. Down side is that the adhesive is degraded by UV light, Thats why bonded screens have the black band around the edges to protect the bond.
