Hearty hello from Hants

Hi all,

I'm a complete newb to the mk1 scene but hope to get more clued up as I struggle with my newly acquired '87 cab which, to be honest is a bit of a shed. It's been mine for all of 18 hours and I have already managed to break the windscreen whilst removing it!!

Although you guys don't know it you have already been an invaluable source of info to me while I have been lurking around the forums…

Cheers

David

Howdy Doody,

Broken your screen already!!!  These are still available from VAG for about ?80 - or ?50 insurance excess if you are covered - but you won't get a VAG screen!

I've got used clear, top tint and green ones  :D

Clear screen is 161 845 101 - add an "A" for the green

Looks like VAG mught still do the mouldings so worth giving them a try or GPC in luton.

Welcome to the forums, good to see another dubber from Hampshire. Where abouts in Hampshire are you?

Anyway, you'll easily find the answers to any questions you have on here as there are a lot of helpful people in the know.

Hi All
Just going thru todays forums….Its amazing what you find out….just checked the glass work on mine and it looks as tho my windscreen has been changed……..its not green….took a bit of paper out to check the colour…..didnt even notice that it has one of those tinted bits at the top of the screen….I'll have to get rid of that!!!

TC,

The original VAG ones did not have a top tint and are marked with "Tinted" under the glass logo.

Hmmm, never heard of Shipton Bellinger, but I know Andover well. I did my football trials there before being selected to play for Basingstoke when I was 14.

I live in a small village just outside Farnham (towards Alton). I've only seen 1 Mk1 Campaign (apart from mine of course) near where I am and it's a really nice Silver one in Farnham. I guess that's a good thing in the sense that they're not a common sight where I am.  :wink:

TC,

I don't stock new ones (have a couple as spares) as VW still do them at a reasonable price.

May have a used one when you need one - give me a shout.
