Hi,

 

A week or so ago I posted about my windscreen problem, the "unavailability" of the 300ZX screen turned out that Autoglass had not paid thier bill to Nissan and thus the account was on stop - Plonkers!! :p

 

Anyway they phoned me up to say they had the glass and trim. They turned up and explained they did not have the same tint screen - i said no probs and left them to it.

 

Anyway half an hour later the chap told me the glass would not fit - it was 1 inch too short :mad:

 

So what is going on, several people told me on here they had UK glass fit thier jap car!

 

They are going to get another screen to try - has nissan supplied the wrong glass?? or are there various sizes of glass??

 

Anyone??

Possible they sent the Z31 (pre 89 300ZX) windscreen which would be the wrong shape and size.

 

As I believe the only difference between the UK and Jap Z32 windscreen is the colour. UK has a dark tint and Jap have an orange tint.

Stuart's explanation sounds feasible.

 

If there are any part numbers on the glass or if you want to check UK vs UK parts on different 300ZXs (eg Z31 vs Z32) try Mike Feeney at http://www.mjpauto.com

 

Good luck - Gio

IIRC UK tint is blue and Jap is bronze. Difference is quite noticable if you see the two next to each other.

On my Z31 the windscreen is 76.5 by 144 cms approx at it's widest part, if that is any help
