Title: Mk2 Rallye - G60 Bonded Windscreens
Post by: Organisys on 25 November 2011, 13:35

OK Just found this, since I have a few stone chips and have heard these screens are getting very hard to find in the UK:

Good price too.

Any ideas on the shipping cost?

Guys can't you just convert it to seal screen? I'm sure I've seen it done?

haaaa alright if you said to me back when I had the Rallye I would have said the same, but desperate times JV!
I got mine when I had the respray Auto glass had one and it cost me £60 off insurance as mine was cracked anyway!

As it gives the shell significant extra strength I'd be looking to replace with a bonded screen if what I had had one originally.

No doubt it does, but if you can't source one? What are you going to do, drive around with a cracked screen? :wink:
I think I saw someone saying that the sealed one from a 16V Gti can be bonded in if you wanted, after all its just more black gunk spread around the seal and screen lip? In many aspects a double seal in there could be stronger than anything else?

i would have thought the screen trim for a bonded screen would be harder to get hold of tbh.

It is Danny! I had to make sure they cutted out my old one in tact, then I painfully stripped it clean so they could re-attach and bond it back in place  :sad:

This was the main reason I sold it to a lad who only wanted to look at it.
He knew what I sold him and I said you know parts are difficult fella to get a hold of? He replied "yeah thats why this one is a keeper!"
At that point I made him agree if he ever wanted to sell it ever, I have first refusal  :rolleyes:
It wasn't so much it cost me affortune in parts it was parts themselves the issue.
The major parts I bought for Darko came from Germany I paid Euros via the bank for them.

parts for rare obscure volkswagens are a sore subject here.
