Windscreen Replacement...

At some point I intend to replace the green tint front screen on a '83 hatch.

As there's no urgency I've been looking at different suppliers, one of whom is VWHeritage.

Has anyone bought one of their screens recently and could give an opinion on quality?

If any one else is in the market for a screen it might be useful to know I went ahead and got the Heritage one.

Decision was only partly based on the price (it wasn't the cheapest, specially with the offer of free post not applying to glass, plus a hefty £20.00 surcharge for special packaging) but the presumption was that if anything happened to it in transit, there'd be a better chance of resolving things with a reputable company.

As it turned out the one supplied arrived in perfect nick. It's made by Nord Glass, and while it'll not be fitted straight away first impressions say the quality and fit is spot on, plus the green tint is a perfect match for the existing glass.

 

Good to know, I've just replaced my windscreen through my insurance and the new screen is about 3mm to small in 1 of the corners so the seal does not seal properly!

May look at change mine again when the screen comes out again for a respray later this year or I may be lucky/unlucky enough to have another huge stone hit my windscreen again as that is why I had to change the screen in the 1st place.
