New windscreen

[Shoddy]

Hi all

Does anyone know where I can buy a new windscreen to fit my 71 bay? Having windows out shortly for a new head lining and looking at the screen its pebble dashed and scratched to death.

Cheers
Craig

Its been asked plenty of times but i would advise calling a few local company's and see how much they would charge supply and fit. I had mine supplied and fitted for about £100, this was a pilkington glass screen and i supplied the good quality rubber. If you weigh this up against a VWHeritage screen which was about £130 at the time and i had to fit it its a no brainer.

It's worth mentioning for those with uk buses with original toughened screens you will probably find your recovery company won't help you if your unfortunate to have a shattered screen whilst on a journey. A friend had his screen shatter on NYE last year only to be refused a tow home. He kicked out the glass and drove home in the wind and rain. I guess laminated screens as found on US imports will more than likely crack but not leave you stranded.......

Windscreens really are a piece of p1ss to fit, after spending over an hour on one rear window, my screen was in in under 5 minutes.

If you can find a second hand one under £50 fit yourself, if not pay autoglass etc

Assuming your bus has never has an A pillar repair, in which case, it had best be spot on or could cause grief.... Just look at Scott Westy with his bus :shock:

Sorted on the replacement screen. Chap who is removing the windows before it gets the new headlining is ordering one in at £120. Doesn't seem too bad ....
