I'm supposed to be picking a '85 Granada mk2 up tomorrow but have just found out that the front windscreen is cracked (think it will be mot failure as in swept area?) Anyone had one fitted in the past and can give me a rough guide price for a new one fitted, or what would i have to pay if i can find a 2nd hand one. Will they still be available new? Ive only done them thru the insurance before on newer stuff, ill have a go at ringing round tomorrow but if anyone has any suggestions id appreciate it, thanks in advance  |

If you have it on classic insurance,
most will have windscreen cover
usually with a little bit of excess 50 quid or so

You need to match the screen and rubber, try a banger site, there must be shatloads of glass hanging about in banger yards, i know of well over 50 grannys in a southend yard aloan and another 20 in Hertfordshire but he's not a racer just a hoarder and wont let anything go  |

I've got a couple of windscreens, I'm near J16 of M6 if they are any use to you? They aren't hard to fit!
Cheers

Thanks guys but its turned out to be a false alarm, ive bought the car unseen thru egay, and found a pic (googled the reg last night) of what looked like a crack from top to bottom with a piece of insulating tape over a hole, when checking the ebay pic you can see it faintly as well. Actually it turned out to be an aerial stuck inside the window  what a plonker i am ;D DOH!  |
