What's wrong with it? Is it unclear, faded, brown, cracked? If it's any of the above except for cracked, you should be able to clear it up with some Meguiars Pastic Polisher and some good ol fashion elbow grease. :)

Need a replacement plastic rear screen for my 1992 MX5 (black roof), somewhere in NSW would be good
Thanks :) Dave


Look up 'Auto Trimmers' in the yellow pages
I'm getting mine done next tuesday at a motor trimmers in Castle Hill.
Will cost $313.50
Got a few quotes from different trimmers.
One said I would have to get a new roof.
Another said that was rubbish and quoted $500.
This guy quoted $285 plus tax. Bit further away but his premises were very clean and spacious. Was considering a new roof with glass but there was the money thing.
I'll just see how the new plastic goes.

I had my original soft top dying plastic window replaced (the zip too) for under $150 in Melbourne .. but then again, the labour of removing the roof off the frame was already done ..

Bevan, I have the same prob, no cracks just scuffs and fine scratches.
I swear by Meguiars, does it have to be done by "elbow grease' or can a buffer do the job (after covering everything) :?:
