Post subject:  New Front Windscreen
OK, down the track a little I want to get a new front windscreen as the original one is scratched and 'pitted' from 38 years of bug and gravel impacts! :lol:

So I want a Laminated windscreen, I will use a new locking strip and rubber. I have been quoted $220 for fitting one from the local windscreen place (if i supply the rubber and locking strip.)

He says it has a blue strip of tint across the top.

What is people's experience with new windscreens? Are there some better than others?

What about the srtip of tinting? Sounds very 80s.... :roll:

cheers

I got a newy a few years back from like instant windscreens. Its a good fit. Has a slight tint across the top but i think it looks ok. $220 is a good price if they fit it as well. Saves u having to deal with a fiddly job.

Is the car issured with Shannons? Free windscreen every year on most classic car policies. Ring the, get a qoute number, ring a windscreen mob, tell em its on insurance they will look after the rest.

Yep, car is insured with Shannons. Doesn't there have to be a broken windscreen to get a new one?

I guess that may happen one day.

Do they cover the rubber and chome locking strip?

Cheers

Remember the old rule: If it aint broken, break it!

Then it will definately be under your free windscreen policy.

If its scrathed that a reason to have it replaced, it does'nt cover rubber & locking strip, buy those & get the installer to fit them.

The blue tint(stip) is manufauctured into the screen.It looks good and helps when driving into the sun :D
I am selling tinted and non-tinted windscreens for $150.00 to Members of Mini Clubs in Perth-so if you shop around you should get a better price :wink:

I had the band tinted screen in my LS. I am 6 foot tall and the tint was a pain in the arse because you were always looking through the bottom of the tint. (the view on a hilly road was going in and out of the tint and it was rather annoying) If you are short you can ignore this. :wink:

Your saying thats 220 just for instalation arent???

If you are, then, how do they get away with that.. its So simple with the tool...oil the rubbers a lil and fit the locking strip....

Might need two people to put the window in.

I borrowed the tool from the mini workshop i go to.

and mmmmm, would love to have one of those kool new windscreens.
:lol: :wink:

goodluck
