How much are replacements I dont really want to go though insurance...

Any chance of having them with thinner glass?? say 3 mm thick???

I'm still waiting on the invoice for my screen....

I got it replaced in March.

Depends on the insurance Wun. Shannons have a free windsceen replacement once a year which doesn't affect your premium at all. Check to see if your entitled to it

Wow there's some classic questions on here :lol:

Obviously the thickness would be regulated

I got mine replaced a little while ago, cost around $200 and is a good quality screen. The guy comes to you and does it like most windscreen places do. I can find the details if your interested.

may as well cut it off altogether. :lol:

Strange thing is that Wun would actually ask for a thinner windscreen but he still has an electric antenna in his car and all the heavy heavy carpet and sound deadening. A man of many contradictions

Not to mention that he just purchased a roof which weighs over 20kg without the frame :shock:

(The OEM roof weighs under 20kg complete!)

Not to mention his 17" wheels.

They say the lotus elise has 3 mm glass and its road legal...

You could always get a standard sceen, then sand it back! :mrgreen:

That would be a project that would keep you busy for a day or two.

Get Lightyear to make you a carbon fibre windshield. Leave the weave a bit open so you can (sort of) see through it.
