LLE Windscreen & mirror glass

Post by TimC »

My LLE windscreen has taken a stone hit just above the bottom edge. The damage is too large and too close to the edge to be repaired. Autoglass can't get me a screen (either tinted or not) with the antenna in the screen. Does anyone know of a source? Similarly, my right-hand mirror took a swipe from a Land Rover. The casing is fine (amazingly!), but the glass fractured badly. It's the Carat type, heated electric mirror. Anyone know where I can get a replacement glass?

thanks!

Bum. Gone for a tinted/top tinted plain screen from Autoglass - though they're going to look to see if there really is no hope of repair first. I tried VW van spares in Ipswich, and they couldn't do the screen. I'm waiting to hear about the mirror.

Classic parts have the glass, I got a quote from them a couple of weeks ago (70 yoyos for 2).

Got the windscreen repaired!

'Classic parts'? How do I get hold of them? The only web search result I got was a USA/Germany site, which couldn't find any exterior mirrors for anything!
