[the_ferret82]

any one had any issues with autoglass replacing there windscreen on there monaro?

im have just booked mine in for a chip that has been repared and is now slowly growing

[stigmundfreud]

think big nige did one a few years back. Worth messaging him as he still does answer

[davegreg]

Autoglass did mine about a year ago.......had to take it back again though coz it was leaking, but they got it right in the end.

I had mine done by national windscreens a few weeks back. They had to order the screen from vauxhall to get the blue band/green tint on a monaro

[stigmundfreud]

from memory nige had an issue as it didnt have the colour sun blind strip or something like that

Had mine done by autoglass in Warrington last week. It took 2 days to get in and was fitted perfectly. As far as I can see monaro windscreens are no drama for them.

Ok stupid question..... what colour is the sun strip on a CV8 Monaro... as i look at mine i sware its blue. can any one confirm as auto glass seam to think its green.......

[Tempy]

Sounds silly, but it's green blue....not green green. The green one is horrible. The correct Monaro CV8 is green blue. Check the thread I linked to for more detail mate.

i thought it was so i wanted to check.. thanks

just to update still having fun with autoglass. just had a call from them to say there head office reckons they cant get a blue / green tint screen only a green green. so armed with tempys details i have proved them wrong as they fitted one for him. hope you don't mind tempy but i managed to track down your no plate to provide auto glass so they could double check there records. of which they have and noticed they have fitted you with a blue green they have gone back to head office... just have to see with what they come back now.

i had blue/green fitted by national windscreens a few weeks ago, they did have to order the screen from vauxhall as everywhere else only had green/green

GSD2000,

thanks for that info. it is handy to know as autoglass sales people seam to think VX dont do a blue / green one... mmmm

according to vauxhall there were 3 part numbers but now there is only 1. They couldn't tell me or national windscreens if the one they had was blue/green or not, but it was. I think tempy had the same experience, had to order direct from vauxhall
