Thread: Replacement Windscreen for SVX 08 $$$

A few weeks ago there was an ebay seller in Ballarat (VIC) with new heated windscreens for Defenders. For $300 it even included a relay and switch for converting any Defender to a heated screen. I should have put it on my watch list, but didn't.

Just had a new screen put in my 99 defender 130 $ 180 fited I think Obriens be a bit dear.

I think that a lot of cars now can only use 'genuine' replacement glass as noone makes a generic version and the dealers charge whatever they want.
I had a Mitsubishi Express van and a cable drum rolled thru the back window $1100 and that was 7 years ago. When I asked the installer was it because of the demister he gave me the above explanation. some little side windows in Hilux etc were $$$$$.
You can imagine how expensive insurance premiums are going to get as they factor this (1 free?!! screen) into the premium

Don't know who the seller was? I need a screen and one of these would be excellent

It's someone who sold Land Rover parts. If it wasn't Ballarat, then it was Bendigo. There's someone there who imports parts and makes diff guards and so on. I've seen the adverts elsewhere, but can't remember who / where.

Try an ebay search for "Land Rover" with the Ballarat or Bendigo postcodes and a 100km radius. Try other sites, such as LROCV, or even search here. If I find it I'll let you know.

I think it may be these guys.

$100! Christ! I got a quote from Obriens to reseal mine (spent too many years under the sun) and they quoted $200 for the rubber + $200 for the fitment ++ another $458 if the windscreen broke and they had to replace it!

I'd cream myself if I could get a replacement windscreen for $100 and $50 to get it fitted! :-(

I got Novus to do mine a month or two back. Some thing like $170 fitted and an extra $40 for the seal if it was required which it wasn't. They were there the next day to fit it as well.
