My Windsreen Is Busted Help!

[MsG_ChRiS]

I somehow managed to get a crack in windscreen which is unrepairable so i have to replace my windscreen ...

Getting the windscreen is not a problem but getting the little seal off for around the window is ... the Obriens glass man said i would have to order it from over seas.

The reason being because the seal in a skyline has a wire running through it (simialr to a celica) the generic brand wont hold the screen properly =(

So the short of it is is there a generic brand of seal that will work or has anyone here had the same prob and used a seal from another car???

With careful removal of the mould you will be able to reuse it again . Leave the car in the sun to soften it up before removal .

Nissan Dealer mate ,

I deal with Hornsby , they are good they know all import parts , they were 1 of only 2 dealers that sold the 32 GTRS .

But you should be able to reuse it mate, i have done in the past .

If o'brein dont do it p.m. and if you prepared to come to Sydney i'll send you to my windscreen guy , he will be cheaper than o's as well.

i used the std seal used on new falcons, you cut it to size yourself and works a treat.. looks brand new, the old one is hard and mine couldn't be re-used .. got it from o'briens too.

used it on the front and rear, looks great.

Thanks for the advice guys i got the windscreen replaced by O'Briens ...

They quoted $350 and when they installed it only charged ($218 hehe =P)

The standard seal did work also but had to use silicon to make sure it stayed in place because no matter what you do the back half of it get torn off...

Neway thanks again ...
