Hi all, tomorrow I am hoping to get my windscreen replaced!
3 months ago my windscreen developed a crack on the passenger’s side.
My insurance company told me to contact Autoglass which I did.
3 months later they informed me they could not source a windscreen.
It took me 2 days to track one down with YTW windscreens
And Pilkinton Glass can make them to order!
Now l have the windscreen with no clear precise instructions on how to get the side panels off without destroying them along with braking plastic clips & robber stoppers along the way that are nearly 30 years old.
Here are some photos
How to take off the side panel?
First lift the top up off the rail ! Do not bend it !,
When that is done the whole side panel slides out! Not with 30 years of dirt along the rails they don’t!
I have new side panels arriving at a cost of around £189
I have also ordered new side pillar trim Retainers as it suggested, but not needed !
Cost £216
The windscreen cost £654
Plus £200 windscreen fitted
Added insensitives £36 scuttle clips -square ones
£28 for new top plastic clips
All for love😀300ZX

Hi Guy's
Well the new owner of my z picked it up this afternoon.
I had owned the car for 5 years and loved every minute of ownership, even if now and again i got a big bill.
Steadily over the years i have got it looking better and better.
18" wheels, supra style spoiler, graphics etc etc.
Nothing i have owned has come close to the looks i got every day i drove it.
I sold it because my lads are getting too big to fit in the back!!.
I took my 2 lad's for a last cruise around before the new owner turned up and i must admit to a little watering of the eyes!!! :cry: :cry:
And to put it plainly, i am absolutely gutted it has gone. :( :( :(
It's been nice knowing some of you guy's, thanks for all the help through my ownership years.
I'll still pop along to the jap shows, but not in the zed!!.
Hope the new owner looks after her, sigh!!!!!!!!!!!
Later Guy's
Dave.
