Replacement Windscreen Glass
I have just recieved my windscreen i have just brought off the net, but it arrived broken.
The cost of the actualy carriage and screen wasn't much so am not worried about that.
Does anyone know an approximate price or who to use?
Thanks

You local autoglass or similar should be able to cut you one using that as a template, they cut laminate glass all the time for JCB's, coaches,
boats etc, I was quoted £35 including a kite mark
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

One small point, if you haven't yet been for SVA the glass MUST be marked with the correct code. They will fail you if the wrong one is etched
on the glass. The codes that are acceptable are BS857, BS857/2, BS5282, and BSAU178, these are the codes stated in the SVA inspection manual. HTH Ray

They will fail you if it's etched on anywhere, it has to be printed between the layers of glass used to make the screen.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Hm! well all I can tell you is that mine was etched into the glass, (watched the cutter do it), and that was one item it didn't fail on. Ray

It must be the tester at Derby.
In 2000 he was testing a Westy and inspected the screen closely. His explanation was that the marking had to be done by the glass manufacturer and not
the screen cutter.
