Looking to replace my screen as it's badly milky and the glass is pitted.
A respray on the front looming but the screen will let it down.
I know a fitter who will fit it for me and he has done these cars before so he's aware of the problems.
He can get me a none TVR screen but i want the original.
Where's the cheapest place to get one?

Bought a screen today from David Gerald.
What do i do with my old screen seems a shame to throw it?
Milky in one corner and stone chipped.
Not had no luck with door glass apparently not made any more which i find rather strange seeing you can get fronts easily.

Can I make a suggestion for replaced but "usable" screens...sell them to me for the racer. I currently need a screen, and could do with spares too!

Hi,
It's being fitted on tuesday so if it all goes well.
It's just milky in one corner and pitted in some areas but it's not cracked.

Had my screen fitted todaysmile
The fitter had a right job on removing the screen he says the screen has been replaced before and badly fitted.
It was pushed too far back and too much sealant eventually cracking the screen in a few places whilst trying to remove (sorry ian)
As it was raining when i left work i had to use the wipers all the way home the odd thing is the wipers now park on the bodywork and the drivers arm hits the passenger arm when sweeping down.
Before they occasionally parked properly but most of the time parked about 100mm up from the bottom of the screen as most chims do.
Anyone throw any light on that query?
I shall readjust them one notch when it's dry.
So now i have better wipers also the fitter replaced the rearview mirror as the clip had broken.
Now the mirror is quiet stiff to adjust and i used to get vibration at high speeds.
So all in all quiet chuffed with the job and total cost £450smile

Hi folks, sorry to bump this to the top again, however if anyone does replace a milky windscreen and it comes out cleanly, could you let me know as I need one and I'm looking to have one or two spares.

Regards
Iain
