    Windscreen Glass Supplier ?

    I have to replace the windscreen glass in a few Land Rovers (SII & SIII) and was wondering the typical cost and also where is the best place to source.

    I know some companies will cut flat glass to size for trucks etc., in fact there is a windscreen company in Hallam I need to chase for a price.
    I'm seriously thinking about a windscreen frame with new glass fitted that I can switch between vehicles for the roadworthy.....

    Any input welcome.

    My IIa's windscreens were cut by a local glazier. I don't know the price as they were a birthday present.

    Do you know if you can get laminated windscreen glass to suit a Series Land Rover?

    Regards Warrick.

    Windscreens Obrien will cut screens from flat automotive grade laminated glass and will put the required approval lable on the glass. As I understand it they usually have a single location in each capital that does the work. In Sydney AFAIK it is the depot in Minto.

    BTW ex-Army Series Landies should already have laminated glass. (Unless someone has changed the screen post-service.)

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    The problem is, will it pass a roadworthy ?

    Thanks for the offer Brad but I'd probably be better installing new glass knowing it will not get failed on the windscreen.

    I might see you at the Series day.

    There are quite a few companies around that will cut a flat laminated glass and etch the automotive mark. VK3UTE listed one and I have found others.

    From past experience Windscreens O'B know how to charge.....wouldn't be my first choice.

    Hi All. As stated previously normal 6.5mm laminated glass can be used but will not pass a RWC. I did this first and the RWC guy picked it up. Worth a try thou as it cost all of $35 for the two pains! If you don't need a roady lam is the go as the glass is no different to automotive lam other than no edge polishing.

    Cheers Simon.

    PS I think I will be there on Sunday for the series day with both landy's and the family.
