i have tripped the car down big time as doing a proper paint job not just a fast over spray

[Joely P]

After researching for months for a company I trusted to paint my car, I decided to ask them if they can recommend a local glass company. They use the same bloke for all their work ranging from everyday cars to classics to supercars and as I didn't have any contacts in that game I decided to trust their experience. He was very reliable, very experienced and did a great job in both removal and installation. He charged me £150 to come to my house and remove all the glass (excluding the door glass) and reinstall it when I was ready which was a few weeks later (+£180 for a brand new front screen).

 

If you've sourced yourself a reliable bodyshop, it maybe an idea for you to get recommendations from them too? Simon used national windscreens and got a decent fitter, although I think you take a big gamble with these big national companies as to who you get on the day, I'd say Simon was possibly lucky.

[Guest dan300zx]

national windscreens wont do it just rung back saying wouldnt touch it

[Funkysi]

You probably went through to the main National Windscreens switchboard. Go to your local depot. They've always been more than happy to do work on my Z.

[Guest dan300zx]

yes i did they said no

[Funkysi]

Oh well. Try a small independent.....

[Guest dan300zx]

just had £150 to remove rear glass and the 2 back side windows thats inc refit to later on

[Funkysi]

Sounds about right. I think it was £60 to remove and refit my rear screen and about £30 for each corner window. I wouldn't quibble about £150.

[Guest dan300zx]

some one just came back for £110 rung a few people soon as you say 300zx they go all funny

[Guest dan300zx]

me...can you give me a price to remove a rear screen

them, yes sir what car is it

me... its a nissan 300zx

them, silence ,,,, then omg every one evacuate the building its he wants a price to remove a screen on a 300zx .

 

there all acting like a asking for a price on a screen removal on a ferrari 1965 250 gto what a joke this day is turning into

[Mondo]

Are you buying new weatherseals and clips for the refitting, Dan...?

[Guest dan300zx]

if they come off broke yes am fiitting new roof trims and new scuttles

[Funkysi]

That's because the rear screen is fragile. If they break it, it's around £650 new as it's a Nissan-only part.

 

As for the weatherstrips and seals, just buy new ones. The old seal will be hard and won't reseat. The lower seal is around £80. The top seal is a lot more expensive if that can be saved. It's rigid though, so has a higher chance of being saved. There are 2 clips in it though that the windscreen guy will have to cut through.

[Guest dan300zx]

what and were are the clips? in the rear screen ?

[Funkysi]

There are clips in the top trim. One either side. They press-in when the top trim is slid over the glass and then the whole lot bonded in and have to be cut when the screen is cut out. They are part of the top trim. It's not essential they're replaced, you can simply re-use the top-trim, there are also 2 locator tabs on the lower corners. Again, not really essential they're replaced either. They're there mainly for manufacturing purposes so that the vehicle can be moved and worked on immediately after the screen is bonded in. There are clips in the rear quarter windows in the corners that do the same thing.

[Funkysi]

You can't get the top trim off without cutting through those clips as they sit inside an enclosed box section (unless I am corrected). You won't damage the actual trim by doing so either.

[Guest dan300zx]

soon find out there doing it now

[Guest dan300zx]

good news all the seals are saved and are in good order. just need them clips as he cut them
