Windscreen Side Supports....
Dave Bailey - 3/7/13 at 03:54 PM

Before anyone states the obvious that I should not go to IVA with the screen fitted... I know it is stupid but for some strange reason I want to test my car as I am going to use it.... Trawling through the IVA manual I can't decide if the supports need a 2.5 mm radius or 5 mm... Anyone passed with screen fitted and know what the radius needs to be?

thanks

If the screen supports are thinner than 5mm you can't have a 5mm radius so 2.5 or blunted
Most run some rubber head round any areas of concern
The screen surround needs a radius probably 5mm
Your biggest issue fitting a screen is wipers covering the screen, some fit 3 blades, 2 blades needs offset and wide sweep

I don think there is an 5mm radius standard in IVA is there? I thought it was either 2.5mm or blunted, depending on the location etc.

thanks... I only have two blades and they are not very big.... i will have a read up... i thought it was a bit subjective.... must have adequate visibility forward on nearside and offside....
