i dont understand why they have brought you the wrong rubber twice.why cant they not use the original rubber.

failing that autoglass get glass supplied by laddows and they have most rubbers in stock and im sure when i went to do a screen on an s2 i got a new rubber.

The answer to this question is:- they are stupid, they bought me one with the option for a chrome insert to which i told them it was wrong, they then turned up today with a completly different one. They cant use the old one as it fell apart when the old screen came out months ago. how may different types of rubbers are there?

are all mk4 escort rubbers the same?

don't forget that what ever rubber they bring will be a pattern part so will be possibly different to an original

They are useless fucks! lol
Had them out a few times myself.... First rubber was split and then the second time it was the wrong rubber, they brought the one that has an insert in the middle but didnt bring the insert!
