dracula Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 The recent storms dislodged a roof tile and no prizes for guessing where it landed.... typically the supra’s only on the drive under a cover as it’s usual garage spot is being taken up while I’m doing some work on the fiat. I can’t claim on the insurance so looking to source a replacement screen myself, any ideas as to what the going rate is, or the best place to find one? I’ve seen the Whifbitz heated replacement (~£350) which doesn’t seem too bad (comparing it to when I had my Soarer one replaced a few years back... that one was an insurance job and just as well as it was nearly £900 ffs!) and I quite like the idea of a heated screen. The Supra’s a ‘96 n/a btw. The only crumb of comfort in this story is that it’s made my mind up about whether to take the glass out for its long overdue respray!

Lee P Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 They are around £255 from Toyota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blythmrk Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I had a genuine front toyota screen and new seal which was £350 last August. Keron normally stocks new oem front windscreen seals I think they are around £70. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dracula Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 Cheers guys, I only found the damage this morning as it was hidden by the car cover so not had a chance to ring round and get an idea of price & availability. £250 from Mr. T seems pretty reasonable, but maybe because the Supra was sold in the Uk whereas the Soarer wasn’t. (I’m just glad the tile didn’t hit the Sera that was parked right next to the Supra! #tryfindingglassforoneofthose) I’ll give Toyota a ring tomorrow and post up the latest prices for screen & seals also...

dracula Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 Just ordered one from Toyota at £285 plus a front seal at £45 and a seal for the rear screen at £75 (all inclusive of vat) which I didn’t think was too horrendous. It’ll be delivered to my local branch on Wednesday and save all the arsing around getting it down to Devon in one piece... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott.wild Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 The garage whifbitz heated screen is good, especially this time of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 The garage whifbitz heated screen is good, especially this time of year. I really wanted one of those but not worth the travel for a ite that could need replacing any time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dracula Posted January 10, 2018 Author Share Posted January 10, 2018 Price Update... picked these up earlier and it’s the glass seal that fits around the screen that’s £45. The weather strip that’s visible from the outside is another £85. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
