Be carefull i had my windscreen removed to replace a leaking seal,
by a so called" professional" auto glass installer, within a week cracks started
to appear in both lower corners of the windscreen, They deny responsability,
saying it was okay when it left here, i must have done something to it.My advice
get a written warrenty, particularly if you are using a used windscreen.I,ve
found a used replacement screen i shall install it myself this spring, the
latest edition of the SPITFIRE magazine had a very clear step by step article on
windscreen replacement, it doesent appear that difficult, i hope it isnt.
Good Luck
John Cave.
