Autoglass came out last week and removed my screen and then showed me the bonding underneath and said there was no evidence of leak. I pointed out that they had said that before when they replaced the Screen on my Old G-Wagon and had to come out 3 times before it actually stopped leaking.
Anyway it's back-in with new rubber seal. We'll see once I expose it to rain again or do the hose test.

Interestingly they are now testing roof mounted canopies, so that they can replace Windcreens in wet weather for those of us who do not have cover.

Strewth, does your missus let you drive it through the house?




A new screen is great though particularly at this of time of year with low sun.

Not quite new screen Simon, but resealed at least.

There has been many a car parked in that garden.
The two bare patches are the result of us all playing badminton over the summer with our bargain Aldi badmington racquet & net set. The Square patch to the left is where the kid's climbing frame and swing were until last week, and where I hopefully, plan to put-up either a wooden garage or covered car port or sumfin to keep the coop all cosy and oot the rain.

Does anyone know if you can still get new windscreens?

I am!
Are they a good fit?
I assume there are no longer any original Fiat screens?

They came to the house last year and fitted mine and there have been no leaks, so happy all round, especially the cost....£180 smile

Only thing I wondered was if some glass can be "softer" as one of the wipers has left a semi circular mark as if something has been caught under it.

OE screens and seals are no longer available. Reccomend the AA for any Coupe screen work.....
