They fitted a green? Idiots

Two choices - remove it and have a bronze or bronze.blue fitted, or change all the other glass to green - tho you will be hard pushed to find green tint rear quarter glass - rocking horse shit!!!!

So best off to go for a bronze/blue I reckon....

If you was closer, I'd do the job for you

Still out of my area dude

Plus, to be honest, since Ford supplied (and fitted?) the wrong screen, you should be able to get the change over done for free, which beats paying me to do the job for you anyway.... Standard rate remove and refit on something like this would be £50 easily (plus cost of screen) so it'd probably work out cheaper to hound Ford (or whoever fitted it wrongly) to get it done for you

i've sorted a new front screen, £75. from the windscreen man on the RSOC.

Going to see if i can get a new seal FOC from fords seeing as they supplied me with the wrong screen and never even mentioned that the bronze tint wasnt available.

Is that £75 supplied and fitted? If not, how much is fitting gonna cost you?

Good luck with the trim - I've been trying to get some proper Ford Sierra trim for some time now to no avail

Nah, you won't find rear quarter glass trims ANYWHERE now except second hand/private seller. It's a night mare for us (Autoglass) if we get a Sierra come in that has the rear quarter smashed as they are a mission to save and re-use, and we can't get replacements either!

Someone could potentially make a good few quid if they bought the patent and put them into production I reckon

cheers thrush, you likely to ever be down this way in the next few months?

not bothered when the new screen is fitted to be honest.

Just want it done before its back on the road.

But to be honest the mood im in at the moment, im thinking about just giving up and going and buying another car.

I don't really get out Kent way to be honest fella - I'm a fair way from there!

If I do tho, I'll let you know..... As I said before, std price for a quality job where I'd save the screen thats in there (ie, not break it, so you can return/sell it), probably save the trim too, and take obvious extra care with new/fresh paintwork, would be about £50...

I recently did Dan's (Renton) Skyline, for the same thing - he needed the screen removing in one piece, wanting new trims fitted. The problem was a replacement screen for an R32 Skyline is aout £600, and about a 3-5 week wait to have it shipped from Japan! There's not a SINGLE one on the country! So naturally, I was a tad worried - even a slight imperfection in the screen could cause it to crack whilst removing it!

But I did it, got it out in one piece, fitted new trims and refitted screen to it - took about 5hrs, but only charged him £60

So up to you - depends on if I can get down that way - it's out of my area and we're not supposed to take the vans outside of a 20mile radius of home/work (which for me is Essex/Nth London)
