Windscreen seal

[axel]

Gday everyone, it's been a long time since I posted last.

The windscreen sill has been rebuilt aver the last few months (yeah slow going).

Just this evening as were handling the windscreen it cracked straight through the driver side - on came violent raging torrent of violence....

.... anyone know if its reasonable easy to get a replacement screen at what cost?

Cheers

I remember Intensem1 has one that he's selling it dirt cheap.

brand newie will set you back about 220 to 250-ish.
brand newie will most likely be needed for roadworthy purposes.

There's some made here and sold on e-bay for $99

His own chrome doesn't fit though, but I think I've found a supply elsewhere.

I think he needs windscreen glass, not rubber seal.

Why must be brand newie

Why must be brand newie

AS a general rule. Most places will say a new windcreen is required for most cars for a Roadworthy, let alone a Roadworthy on and old car!

(this is for Vic, donno about other states laws with pink/blue/greenslips etc)

It is possible to pass with an old one, but it can't have any chips or big scratches/cracks etc. Most places are pretty picky about this at the least.

It's easy (to pass) if you've got a new one I've found in my experience.

newie looks better too imo.

Sorry for the delay, moving house...

Cracked windscreen installed with cleaned rubber. 2 person job and was quite easy. Lessons learned when handling windscreens = try and handle/store them in a vertical position and if you have to lay it down do so with the ends "up" not down (otherwise it's crack time).

New windscreen from O'Brians = $290 installed (21 in stock in AUS). Private retailer = $240 installed.

Shiit happens.

I found Obriens to be the most expensive when I got my screen.

other mobs were about 50 bucks cheaper, and Jim's was 220 from memory. Cheapest by far I found.
