Thread: Just got a new windscreen and not sure if they did it properly...?

Ben

Remember, poor man pays twice.

Landy mechanic every time no matter what.

This is what has potentially brought the undoing of land rover in Australia.
When they were 1st imported, there were virtually No service centres that knew about Landy's and of course some bloke used to working on FJ Holdens is never going to know what to do with a imported Landy.
Its still a bit scarce to get a good mechanic but the ones you mentioned will do the right thing.
Do it right the 1st time and you be fine.

Oh well it sounds like im just stuck with that unless I can go back and claim they didn't take enough care but I can't see them fitting the bill for new mouldings no matter how hard I try. If it's not going to leak or rust then I'm not too fussed about it. It doesn't sound like anyone quoting for these things would be quoting for new moldings as well, they just should be taking care in the first place to keep it intact. Has anyone ever got a new windscreen installed and had the quote include new mouldings or were they just good enough not to wreck the original ones?

Lesson learned, it's nothing but proper landy mechanics from now on, I'm more mad at myself for going there in the first place than at them for not doing the job as carefully as they should have.

Would anyone be kind enough to post up pics of the same area of the seals but on one that's either had its windscreen PROPERLY replaced or not ever replaced at all so I can actually see what it should look like?

I feel like I might be being a bit fussy with it but I just got the car dammit, even thought it's about 14 years old it's new to me!

why dont you post a pic of yours and others can tell you whether your being fussy.

I think he did that already dullbird.

I believe mine is orig on a 94. It doesn't look as bad as yours but does come away abit in the bottom corners.
