3.2 Carrera Windscreen Question.

[stuttgartmetal]

How about this.
Ive got a 1986 Carrera 3.2
It needs a new windscreen.
It also needs a new screen rubber.
The 89 screen has a one piece rubber, and is the way to go.
This requires a taller, by 15mm, windscreen.
Has anyone done this on their car ?

I didn't think there were different screens for those years, but the other thing I'd do if I were you is get a heated one. You can get one from Ricky Evans Motorsport www.heatedwindscreen.com there is a wire in each bottom corner, just wire up through a relay. Had one on my race car (until it popped out in my crash on Sunday ) and the elements never cause a problem with vision. Cost is about £200 - £250 + VAT, so an extra 100 quid or so compared to standard, but worth it I would have thought.

I was wondering that too. Was there really a different screen on 89 models?? Are you sure you're not mistaking it for the revised C2?

One piece screen rubber on 88 on, bigger screen, 964 part no.

[anonymous-user]

So are you saying that a 964 screen & seal will retro-fit into a 3.2? I don't know the answer myself, but I doubt it would. Or have I got it wrong and all 89 3.2s have this updated screen as standard?

[thegoose]

On the site I put the link up for they do a screen for a 64-89 911, which I would guess includes all 3.2s. Can't imagine why a 964 screen would fit a pre-964 car.

Porsche East London have given me the same answer, looks like one screen fits all !

Ok so they're saying you can retrofit a 964 screen. You learn something new every day.

[stuttgartmetal]

If anyones got the knowledge [ as assumption is the mother of all fvck-ups!]
let me know.
Ta !

Had new screen fitted to my 1984 3.2, after a full restoration.
The new one piece seal (didn't know there was any other), had a smaller lip than original item. Not a big issue for me, but with original paintwork you might see the "fresh paint" now exposed. See if you can lift the seal and check the colour.

Bit like getting a haircut after holiday in the sun

Thanks Shirish.

Its done and done .
964 windscreen, with the satin black edge.
964 single piece rubber, no insert.
The whole is the same whether its a 73 0r 93, its the screen rubber and screen that changes.
Matt from Type-911 Beckenham gave me all the answers, thanks Matt.
