Going to use Allied Screens in Edgeware on a recommendation from someone on here. Phoned up a few places including Autoglass who quoted me £102 just for the seal! My seal leaks slighty water in the passenger footwell, also the screen has a slight stone chip.

I'm based in Walthamstow and they quoted in the region of £130-140 and they come to me. Hopefully next Saturday, will let you know how I get on.

I go to High Beech sometimes!

Scottbott- isn't HarryMan in Herts? Not sure if he has mobile facility. Bill at Westgate motors in Hackney is skilled and fair priced. I get screen rubber from chris' Vw emporium, good value and own, easy to fit yourself tbh. You just need some nylon cord and if you like some rubber compatible lubricant.
Nice van btw, looks comfortable. Let us know how the LPG goes. Cheers, Tim
