Anyone had windscreen changed on thier z and found the new one was the wrong size?

 

Glass man just spoken to says that 9 times out of 10 different tints are different sizes slightly and can change from year to year.

 

Now I dont think the z32 body changed at all but could be wrong.

 

Anyone ever had autoglass etc bring them a z32 (not z31 or z33 durr) screen and it be slightly wrong?

The tint change between import and UK spec but not the size.

sure he didnt bring a Z33 screen? :smash:

Yeah my current (cracked) windscreen is a yellow tiny and really blotchy and poor when the sun is shining through it. Replacement I have lined up is blue tint which is uk I think so should be better all round.

No I'm sourcing my own screen out of a uk car lol

 

The glass fitter just wanted me to check it was the same size as he finds that different years are different in size and tint.

Never heard of them being a different size in the Z32 range.

Nar didnt think so

i had one done and they brought a smaller screen 1st time, got it right 2nd time but the price was double.

Never heard of this.....makes no sense. Probably poorly measured pattern parts !?

 

I know that SWZ used to have a windscreen company come by on a regular basis to remove and fit screens with no issues.

yes matey its 1 for all

When they come fit the screens do they check the year of the car or is z32 all the info you need to give them?

 

Beermonster, do you know if the first screen they brought was for a z31?

Quite possibly although it was down as a z32 they said they had 2 sizes listed.

 

I didnt get to see the screen but the garage said it was miles too small.

Just for anybody doing a future search on this, the vert has a different windscreen as it has a supplemenary aerial in the screen, to compensate for no rear class aerial.

so are they also the same betweeen swb and lwb then as the roof line is different?

The roof line is not different at the front.....only as you move towards the rear of the shell. Hence the reason for different profile side windows and door glasses. So windscreen is common to both.

Not quite true. All sapphire blue Z32s came with blue tint glass over the stock bronze tint, both SWB and LWB.

JOb done! thanks all

 

My car had a nissan screen with a blue tint, looked factory and took some getting out.

 

New one is much newer, non nissan. The tint is a bit bigger but i like it :)
