D1 front windscreen replacement,RRC?Td5?

Had a look around but no definitives.....

.....neighbour put a lump of concrete through my D1 98MY 300auto , hence I need to replace the glass . I understand that a bonded screen needs a wire saw or similar to remove...OK . The RRC looks like it will fir and that has an easier get-out on the donor . I believe the 200 is the same but lacks the fancy black surround (that I can live without!)...fine .

BUT ! Since I have the wiring loom for a heated front screen it would be nice to have one again....very handy in damp cornwall winter . So , did any of the RRCs have one ? Obviously later D1s had , I know cos I had one on a previous vehicle . And then , does a Td5 , D2 windscreen fit properly ? That would widen my search and buy parameters .

Before anyone mentions it , no Im not getting one on my insurance....Im lucky to HAVE insurance beccause I have claimed so much in recent years .

Nobody ?

how much for new one then ?

mates got 5 rr heated screens for sale - see http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f62/range-rover-classic-heated-front-windscreen-230304.html

RRC is fitted in rubber and fairly easy to remove but D1 id direct glazed (bonded) and needs to be installed correctly with primers etc. The RRC screen does not have the black ceramic band which isn't there to make it look nice; it protects the urethane against degradation by UV light.
On top of that, it is almost impossible to re-use the four trims on the D1 from the old screen when fitting the replacement.
I am in the windscreen trade and have a D1 as a weekend toy and had to replace screen and trims last year.
Please don't try to cut corners with the fitting; it's quite a specialist process to do it safely and ensure that it doesn't leak.

Thankyou , SB , for a real , intrade response..... but since the vehicle is to be used mainly on the farm and maybe 3 times a year on road , well , in a word , SIKAFLEX

Have passed info on to seller. He should contact you direct.

It doesn't make any difference which urethane that you use, whether it's Sikaflex, Dow or any other make, it will not stick to the bare unprinted glass from an RRC.

Hi as a windscreen fitter for 25 yrs as long as you clean the glass and prime properly it will stick ok :amen:

Smash your neighbour up and make him pay for a new 1.
