I picked up a stone chip on the way back from my lad's prom a couple of weeks ago (thanks to a censored in a pickup truck) that instantly gave me a 12" crack. Insurance co's windscreen provider said "no problem" and booked me in for this Monday coming. Except now it turns out it is a problem, and they don't have a source. Motoclan say no screens of any kind available (what kind of primary provider are they then?).

Anyone got any good ideas on where I can get a screen for a late '98 4.5?

I was in Central TVR yesterday, they had a couple of Cerbera screens, not sure if they're for sale but worth a shout.

Cheers

Can’t help with sourcing one but there have been various threads about windscreens and there are two slightly different sizes, something to be aware of - measure carefully. Good luck!

Took 9 weeks for them (National windscreens) to get one for my Cerbera in 2019. Tried to get a pattern one but couldn't. frown

I think Central tend to stock the later ones (slightly larger on Mk2) but worth a try.

Thanks, I didn't find any recent posts but note the difference in screen between older and newer cars. I'll give Central a call on Monday and see what they say. Lucky the MOT is new and the crack is off to one corner so hopefully won't spread further - perhaps it'll give me enough time to source a new one ....
