Hi All

    I am trying to get my Zed back on the road after a lengthy (10 years+) period.   After some kind recommendations on here I was put in touch with Jimmer,  who has given me some advise.

Then the fit hit the shan in March and I haven't got any further.  Now it is time to get things rolling again.

 

The front windscreen is cracked badly and requires replacement, and would be good to get this done before I send her up to Jimmer to work his magic.  I have a put up a advert on here but no luck as yet.  Just wondering if anyone has had to do the same and can give me any pointers.

 

My Zed is a:  91, TT, LWB, Japanese Import.  I believe the tint is brown.  If a different tint became available do you think it would look to odd?

 

 

Kind Regards

                Glynn

 

 

last time I saw someone order a new windscreen which I think was funky si, he said they aren't held in stock anymore in the uk and have to be made to special order which took around 6+ weeks, yes being JDM your tint is brown.  checking on nissan genuine they are still available so worth checking with your local nissan dealer part number 72712-41P00 which are around £630, failing that I believe slick Pete is breaking his car which I think is a slicktop, but I'm not sure if the windscreen is different.

Thank a lot bud 

Wouldn't waste your time with a used one; the probability of cracking a front screen on extraction is very high. Can be done with the rear windows and rear quarter windows as they're tempered rather than laminated . You can order new brown tint through National Windscreens. They're special-order only as Kev suggested and you're looking at least 6-weeks. I think the price has gone up. When they were a stocked part, they were only about £150 fitted I think. Now that they've gone to special-order only, they're around £250 I think. Still fairly inexpensive though in the grand scheme of things. Last time I had one done was right on the cusp of going over to special-order and they maintained the quote, but they've definitely gone up since being a special-order part. Being special order though, you can order whatever tint/sunband you want.

 

Avoid AutoGlass as they'll try and charge you OEM pricing which is north of £850.
