Series 3 Windscreen glass dimentions

Good morning,

I had a stone hit my S3 windscreen yesterday which shattered the whole passenger side window pane. I've not had the chance to remove snd clean it up yet, but intend to replace it with some laminate cut to size from the local glazer.

So until I remove the broken sheet, does any one have the size of the glass I need written down anywhere?

Thanks

Thanks, but Paddocks delivery times leave a little to be desired. I plan to get it cut locally, hopefully more quickly and cheaper.

I managed to get the old glass out this morning, the aluminium retainers came out easily, along with the glazing tape.

The measurements I made are as in the diagram.

Butyl tape or dum dum if you have some.
Check inside flat faces of screen frame, see the slightly raised welds? they want grinding/dremeling down as when you tighten the screws this can cause a high spot and crack the screen!

Yours 355, mine 350
Yours 670, mine 665
Yours 705, mine 695

Thanks for the measurements and tips. I've not got any tape yet but planned to use some Butyl.

Local glazer is making up both sides in 6.4mm laminated for just less than £50, fingers crossed on the measurements.

Neen a few eyars now, but Iirc there is plenty of wiggle room.
I do rememer using some bits of plastic at the bottom to hold the screen off the frame and to centralise it.

Thanks, I measured it to leave about 3-4mm gap around the glass on all sides. Should find out in 2-4 working days!

Had a phone call to say the glass was ready to collect today, less than 24hrs!

The size is fine, I could have maybe gone 5mm smaller on each measurement to allow for some more packing between the glass and the frame, but there was still a good amount of space that it won't be rubbing anywhere.

Not a bad result considering, less less the insurance excess would have cost and much quicker than a Paddocks delivery.
