are they imposible to get out in one piece ? if not there is one at the bottom of my garden on a car if you wanna av a go at getting it off

[umpkin]

really appriciate the offer shaun, but i dont think they are they easy to get out, and its a long way for me to come with no 100% chance of getting it out without cracking it.

but if all else fails then i may just have to do that.

gonna give RAC a ring later as they bought out auto-winscreens, im an RAC member and may get some sort of discount (fingers crossed)

Cheers for all the replys guys.

ive got a spare one that i took out of my last car you just have to be careful and use a cheeswire type thing to burn/cut thru the old sealant slowly, i guess you could buy my spare off me if you wanted to come down and collect it? if your interested pm me a offer and i'll take a pic of it for you.

thats the way i did it when i needed one for my van you need to take ure time with it though and it heats up real quick so we poured water on the cheesewire when it started to heat up but worked a treat

'ello mate - don't suppose you could put 'umpkin's mind at rest, and place your spare windscreen against an S13? (if you have an S13-owning mate to hand of course!)

I think you'll be surprised mate...

i have spoken to RAC, they dont stock one for the s12 anymore, but are going to see what sort of quote they can get and phone me on monday, they also said if i knew where one was there guys should be able to get it out in one bit.

so ill let you guys know on monday how it stands.

really thanks for the replys.

Phew! - Lucky I got me 'Net back on just now 'Umpkin - Here's a lovely little tip for you all guys....

...I'm running around with an S13 (yep, S13!) windscreen on mine - it's the EXACT f*cking same one... - Cost me £120 all in, as it ain't *quite* so rare! (I'd never have believed it! )

That piece of advice saved me a sh*tload o' wonga when mine cracked - just hope you get the chance to read this before you get bent over matey...

Hope that helps (Though I see from your last post that at least you got a more reasonable quote afterwards!)


Den.
