Cheap windscreen replacement for your Renault 9 or Renault 11

The Renault 9 and Renault 11 are strongly connected. In fact, it is just the same model, but in two different versions. The Renault 9 was put on the market in 1981, two years later the Renault 11 would follow. Both models became a reasonable success; in the Netherlands they were eagerly in demand. Are you the owner of a Renault 9 or Renault 11 and do you need a windscreen replacement? Then you will always find the automotive glass with the best price-quality ratio on the after market.

Before we look at how to replace the windscreen of the Renault 9 and Renault 11 as cheaply as possible, we first look back at these special models, both of which, according to Renault, deserved their own name.

The Renault 9 and Renault 11; the hunt for a success number

When Renault began designing the Renault 9 and 11 at the end of the 1970s, there was one overarching motive: Renault desperately needed a successful model to strengthen its market share and boost its image. The Renault 14
that was on the market at the time was not a success.

Renault therefore sat down at the drawing board to make the Renault 9 remarkably different. It was also immediately decided to make different versions of the Renault 9 in order to appeal to a much broader market. The Renault 9 was already on the market while the Renault 14 was still in production. The reasoning behind this: the Renault 9 was a four-door, the Renault 14 was not. A good way to push the Renault 14 out of the market altogether.

Only when the Renault 14 was taken out of production in 1983, the Renault 11 came on the market. Unlike the sedan version of the Renault 9, the Renault 11 was a hatchback. In addition, the first generation of the Renault 9 has rectangular headlights, whereas the Renault 11 has round headlights.

There are even more differences between the two models. The interior of the Renault 9 can be called spartan; solid, but very simple. With the Renault 11 a new dashboard was designed, which was digital (only on the Electronic line).

In 1987 both variants were given a facelift. A lot didn't happen, the headlights were adjusted and the Renault 11 got a red light bar across the width of the car at the rear.

In 1988 both models were replaced. The Renault 9 was succeeded by the Renault 19, where the Renault 11 was replaced by the Renault 19 Chamade.

Were the models the success Renault hoped for?

The Renault 14 never became the success that Renault hoped for. Were the car manufacturer's efforts rewarded for its successors? Yes, the Renault 9 and the Renault 11 became much more successful. Respectively, more than 30,000 and more than 20,000 models were sold in the Netherlands. The car also sold well in the rest of Europe. By the way, the Renault 9 and 11 remained in production until 2000 in, among others, Turkey.

When should the windscreen of the Renault 9 or 11 be replaced?

Do you own a Renault 9 or 11 or do you have one of the models in mind, but does the car have windscreen damage? Then there is not always reason to panic. In most cases you can just drive the car. There are two cases in which damage to the windscreen is reason for failure at the MOT. These are always windscreen damage in the driver's field of vision:

  • A chip with a diameter greater than 20 millimetres
  • A branched crack

In such cases, the window must be replaced. In all other cases you can just keep driving. However, it is wise to keep an eye on the window damage, because a damaged window can tear further.

How much does a new windscreen cost for the Renault 9 or Renault 11?

You already have a new windscreen for your Renault 9 or Renault 11 from € 449. This is much cheaper than the windscreens offered by your Renault dealer. After market car windows online are much cheaper because no brand logo has been used. The Renault dealer only offers windscreens with a brand logo, which makes the windscreen more exclusive and therefore more expensive.

The after market automotive glass does not only consist of cheap windscreens. The quality is identical to that of the brand windows. This means that the price-performance ratio with after market automotive glass is always optimal.
