Anyone know if x300 or x308 glass will fit? Having owned both my instinct is probably not. I seem to recall the XJ40 glass/ top half being more flat than the X300. I'm not 100% sure so open to someone more knowledgable than myself to correct me if I'm wrong but just from memory I don't think it'll be a match. |

Insurance have so far been useless. I'm covered for glass so they put me on to the separate company that deals with it. They spent a day looking for a rear screen and called me back to say they couldn't find one so wouldn't be able to do it. They then said I could source one myself and pay them to fit it for £170. Kind of defeats the object of the insurance!
Meanwhile, the tape and plastic is leaking and the interior is getting wet. I also can't use it and it's causing issues not being able to pick the kids up in my sillier cars....

Personally I'd be trying to find a breaking car nearby and whip the screen out myself. Then you could either do it yourself, or see if a windscreen fitter nearby wants a cash in hand job. There's usually plenty of them breaking still, and folks like them for bangers and don't need the glass.

Think I'll try and do it myself, too |

Anyone know if x300/x308 rear screens will fit? Having no luck with XJ40 ones. One has been listed for £50 but it's south of London which would be a over a 10 hour round trip.
Plenty of X300/X308s but I can't find any definitive answers as to whether they'll fit.
My only clue is that there is an XJ40 rear screen on eBay that some one is trying to get £800 for and the NOS sticker on it says XJ40/X300... this fills me with hope but I wouldn't want to risk it without more confirmation
