I wish I could get that around here Brian! I can't even find one in a scrapper locally. Looms havent had a 75 for months! The original guy quoted £80 to try but only if he could get a screen as back up- which he then said he couldn't.

cant see what the problem is getting a new screen, spoke to mate toady who owns a windscreen company, and the rain sensored screens are £100 incl vat to buy and his supplier has got quite a few in

Yes, I've gone somewhere else and the chap is coming Friday to fit one. I have no idea what was going on a few weeks ago when it all kicked off to start with. Something about the current batch having suspect curvature. maybe they proved to be okay or there is a new batch now! Hope so!
The irony is I asked some scrap yards and they wanted £120-£150 without shipping! Crazy! New one isn't costing that much more fitted! This better fix the leak, or I give up and buy some flippers... Last edited by Dawn; 6th August 2018 at 18:20.. |

I'm thinking of going down that line myself - I've just been looking at quotes to insure my ZTT over here (France), there is a saving of almost 100e p.a. by not having glass cover

A few years back, over 25, I had a Renault Savanna and the bodywork around the front screen rusted, allowing water in. I decided to take a hammer to the screen and have a new one fitted after tidying up the frame. Started with a small hammer and progressed up in size. Damned things just kept bouncing off!! When the screen finally broke there was a huge crater in it because of the force needed. On other occasions I have had a screen destroyed by a small pebble. |
