Windscreen Cost

I suspect I wont bother with the extra $30.00 a year on top of my insurance for free yearly windscreen replacement. I have only ever replaced one windscreen in 28 years and that was from an old car I bought to get it a rwc.
I use to pay when I had an old merc and the screen was $800+ at $200 and something I could do my self.. meh ill pass and save my pennies :)

Novus can supply a new one or they just cut one out of the flat sheet they use for motorhome windows,$200 odd last time i checked a while back.

Michelin, Coopers, Seiko, etc, etc, are all made in China, the difference is in the tooling and quality control which is where the cheap stuff falls down.

p.s I bought a new u-beaut curved ergonomic keyboard. I hate it. Nothing's where it supposed to be (for a touch typist that doesn't have to look for the keys, anyway). Its made in China too.

Are you talking about the curved ergonomic keyboard, designed by Microsoft in Seattle USA and manufactured in China. You can't blame the Chinese for Microsoft's blunders.

Onto things Defender windscreen, I have a Defender windscreen frame where we removed the broken screen. I also have a Perentie and an early 110 (county) screen still with the glass.

Are the Perentie and County screens:

1. tinted?
2. laminated?
3. the same seal as Defender?

How do I remove one safely?

When I broke mine three or four years ago, the cost at the local rover parts shop, was $80.00 for the screen alone.
Don.

The new defender that I've just bought has a heated front windscreen
Replacement cost is around 1100 buxs

Decently getting the glass insurance
