Thread: where to source windscreen for series

I think you could just keep a pair of polarising sunglasses in the car, pretty sure that the laminations show up as blobs or a grid pattern of light and dark.

Remember....when you get the glass and fit it.....be very careful doing up the screws in the windscreen frame.

a little here and a little there, and very slowly, making sure to do them up a little at a time opposite each other.

otherwise........................................C RACK!

and you're back to square one.

That is why you use a good bead of Mastic around the glass, I gather that you have been there and done that, you should try it with a Shatterproof w/screen glass getting ALL the little bits of glass out of your hair and face can take weeks

No. That shows up toughened glass not laminated. I know laminated is required in new vehicles (and has been for twenty years or more), but I am not sure whether it is needed for replacements on older vehicles originally fitted with toughened glass.
