It all still works under there, but it's now pretty much impossible to read anything on the screen in normal daylight. A quick Google seems to indicate that basically I'm screwed and may as well just shell out for a new one, but I'd like a second opinion from you lot. So, what are my options? Anyone replaced the glass on one of these things?
contact garmin and ask if they do repairs. I seem to remember they used to do fixed price repairs,
Oh dear mate,
maybe you could buy a dead one with intact case from someone and swap insides?
Don't Garmin refurbish them for a good price if its sent off to them ?
Sure I've seen threads when they have been damaged and repaired.
Garmin are excellent on things like this. Got a refurbed Forerunner for £80 when mine smashed.

That should be easy for Garmin to fix, I think the screen cover is just stuck on with double sided sticky tape, my 60csx is.
Sure someone I was riding with recently said Garmin replaced their/a friends screen for £80
Garmin dont repair screens but offer a new replacement at a very discounted price. Cant remember what they quoted tho, in the region of £100 plus or minus £20
I've just been quoted £68 for an edge 500 repair. I assume you'd be looking at something slightly more than that.
I did the same with my 705 in an OTB moment on some rocks. Sent it back to garmin and got a replacement for around 95 GBP I think. Seemed to be a brand new unit as far as I could tell. Fantastic deal as far as I was concerned
spose as its a touch screen it going to be a few bob.
Cheers folks, I shall drop Garmin a line and see what they can do. 🙂
Update: I emailed Garmin and they advised that they could do a replacement for about £75 if I sent the smashed one back to them. I had to phone them up to arrange the RMA details, which was a bit annoying as I had to spend over an hour on hold before I got through, but apart from that it was dead easy and they turned around a refurbished replacement in about a week. I'm actually quite impressed.
