Hi,
I’m having all sorts of trouble getting a windscreen to fit my 1980 1500 Spitfire.
I’ve read all the previous forum chat above and following each bit of advice, I’m struggling.
I have tried and failed with a screen supplied by Rimmers. When sitting it in place without a rubber, it looks to big.
Comparing it to the old cracked and delaminating screen, it looks to big.
When discussing with Rimmers they say after checking stock from the same batch that there shouldn’t be a problem.
After an experienced fitter gave up after a second and third attempt, I resorted to Autoglass who supplied there own XXX windscreen. They have now had three fitters attempt and fail.
I’ve resorted to having my original Rimmers screen cut down I little to make it match the damaged screen that came out.
I hope to attempt to fit it next week……!
Any advice before I start again.
Thank you in anticipation.
Howard “Newby”
