My car went in to get the problems sorted and when
I got it back there were strange markings on left and
right of the windscreen (see link)

These markings are consistent with glass suction holders.
Is it possible for the dealer to have replaced my window
without telling me after an accident or is there another
explanation?

I must point out that this car was spotless before it
went in and every inch of those windows washed
and wiped dry inside and out.

The glass on the rear view mirror was also dirty
I might add.

If it turns out that the windscreen has been replaced,
is this something that dealers do, or do they tend
to have accounts with companies like autoglass
etc. I'd be interested to know.
