O'Briens are having trouble getting me a new windscreen (they are out of stock). Any other glass places or fitters in Sydney who'd deal with minis?

Try Novus. http://www.novusautoglass.com.au/
:wink:

Also try http://www.instantwin.com.au/ I got them to fit a new rubber to Barney's recently. They were much cheaper than O'Briens. :D

Try Ralph Moore Autoglass, John St. Mascot. They are great at locating hard to find windscreens for older cars.

I got my brand new windscreen from Mini Classic 2 years ago. Is a full clear version without the blue tinted section on the top.

I have several sets of front and rear glass.

They are all yours for free if you want to make a trip to Gosford.

Won't fit the Rover, and they are just taking up space now.

Thanks mate - have just been to the central coast twice recently - but no need - the glass is covered by insurance.

Front ones should fit a Rover
