i could do with buying one in cos i need to get the seal fixed on mine as its leaking

the window place said they mite end up breaking the glass trying to remove it so need a back up screen just incase they do

what other sierra's came with heated front screens so i can widen my search?

anyone know anywhere where i'll be able to get on in W.yorkshire?

 

If your full comp on you insurance claim it on that you will only have to pay the excess

87-93 sierra's all the same glass, obviously only some were heated, don't know which models.
If you phone around you can usually find someone who will do it without you having to pay any excess as they pass it on to insurer but put doiwn that you have paid it!!
They are around £120+ VAT 0924GNH is the number.

insurance company wont cover it tho as im only TPF&F

so gonna av to pay myself

tabatha - is that ford part # & price?

looking for a 2nd hand 1 ideally, keep it cheap

 

No don't go to fords!!, the number is from my buds firm, the glass is made by AUTOGLASS, with 1 year warranty.
A remove and refit with SEALING is £40(cash), but if ANY chips it WILL crack!!
I would just shop around, then bater them off one against the other, keep the details as they will ask who you spoke to etc to get that cheap quote!!

most sierra ghias have heated screens also xr4x4 aswell

 

go find a car with a hot screen thats on ebay for pennies and get it fitted

it's going to supply you with the lom too so thats an added bonus (it's all stand alone with 2 wires going to the ecu to up the idle when it's on and battery + and - )

 

I've done some GL's and GLX's with heated screens before now....

Phone up this lot - Master Auto Glass - 0208 531 9219, and ask for Ben, Marie, or Mick - tell em Matt from Autoglass "across the road" gave you their details and they might be able to do something on the price for you.

They will be able to supply you with a full brand new screen - so less to worry about having a second hand one breaking taking it out and putting it in yours (it happens, even to the best of us ) and also you will have a years gaurantee on the heater elements aswell...

Then find yourself a local fitter who wants a nice cash job to fit it for you. For reference, I would probably only charge £40 or so to fit it (depending how poo the job was - some are worse than others )

 

make sure they don't cut the dash when they take the old screen out

 

Easy to do if you aren't doing it properly Dojj I have to admit, I have done it before myself

But with new removal techniques and tool, that is now a thing of the past - no more dash cutting

 

i've had 2 dashes cut when a new screen wne tin

to say i wasn't amussed is an uderstatement, they repaid the exces and i had a spare dash anyway, but it's not the point is it the fuckers didn't tell me i had to find out for myself

 

The old method is to "slash" the bottom out with a long knife. Problem is the Sieraa dashes have raised corners, most of which have warped somewhat by now aswell, which makes the gap between the dash and the screen very tight. The screen corners dip down a fari bit behind the dash aswell. So it's very easy to do it when "knifing" them out - as said, even I have done it before now

But these days I use a thin guage square wire to remove the bottom of the screen (if it's a remove and refit, ie, saving the screen and not breaking it, I'd use the wire to remove the whole screen) and there is virtually no chance of cutting anything that way
