Windscreen and side glass
Hi there,
I'm trying to get hold of a replacment front windscreen and passenger window for a 1971 Morris Minor Van. Does anyone know who would do these for me (who is in, or would ship to, Chelmsford in Essex!)? Can I get them via autoglass or would a specialist be best?
Also does anyone have any rough ideas about how much these would cost?

RE: Windscreen and side glass
Try Colin Moles from the Essex branch. He lives near/in Chelmsford and has loads of secondhand spares, and could probably bring them to the rally next Sunday. (You ARE a member of the branch aren't you?) New windscreens available from any Minor trader; Autoglass will fit for you if needed. Depending on your driving intentions, heated front screens also now available. I can also let you have a secondhand screen (just swapped for a heated one) if Colin can't help, again rally next Sunday; POA. Not sure about the side glass.

hi simmitc! That sounds a good price, but I guess what with inflation over the intervening years it will have gone up a bit. How much would that cost nowdays I wonder?simmitc wrote:Last time I used Autoglass (I'd hurt my shoulder a few months ago) I supplied the screen and rubber; they fitted the whole lot, £35 - the great advantage is a guarantee against leakage "for as long as you own the vehicle" - 18 years so far!

If you've got the glass and rubber just try your local windscreen fitter.
one did my sisiers mini about 10 years ago he took a screen out of a scrapper we had and put it in the runner in about 10 mins including the cup of tea! that was £10 well spent.

Juliet I had both front and rear screen rubbers done this year for £20:00 labour charge by a local RAC windscreens guy as a private job see who you can get hold of locally there is usually someone, or try the local branch.
