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

i had to face up a bit on reality .. since my zed auto trans
went belly up ive been torn apart .. a manual coversion for me
would cost too much .. seeing im not really a mechanic per se
i would have had to rely on others .. make a long story short
i worked out a deal with my friend who has a manual box from his
wreck so im doing a trade for a prelude and let him have the zed and do
the gear box change , its easy for him he,s a mechanic and body man,,
. well he took the plunge and have already replace the gear box
but his problem is what to do with all the wires left from the auto..
any adv appreciated.. :headvswal :mad:
