Classic car windscreen fitting North-West?

[TimS996]

Thanks to all the advice on here I recently got my exhaust manifold rebuilt to a better than new standard by JP Exhausts.

Now I hope I can get a bit more advice as i need to get a new windscreen installed on my 1981 Matra Murena.

I'm looking for a windscreen installer - not the mobile kind really - that can fit a windscreen for me. Ideally one with their own premises as I will be ordering the screen and want it delivered somewhere where it will be insured on delivery through fitting.

Any good recommendations in the North-West? Ideally Macclesfield up to Manchester or across Cheshire.

Thanks

I suspect your 1981 Matra Murena, a car I'd never heard of until 1 minute ago, is somewhat rarer and more obscure than my 1986 MR2, but FWIW, autoglass were able to fit me a replacement windscreen on the same day I called them.

I doubt this will apply in your case, but for the benefit of others who will read the thread, don't assume just because you car is old/rare that the mainstream fitters won't be able to help you. I was pleasantly surprised.

Is it bonded in or just held in with a rubber seal?

[TimS996]

The windscreen is special order from a company called Uroglas. I can get one from them shipped anywhere in the UK.

As far as I know it is bonded, with T strip seal over it.

A Matra Murena windscreen is a bonded fit. I've only ever replaced one in my 20 years. (I hadn't heard of them until the morning I was fitting one )

Quite a nice job all in all. Simple universal type trims and an almost flat glass.

Sorry OP can't help with your question, I'm in Lincolnshire and don't fit any more.

Thanks. Do you think this is a job a regular fitter could do then?
