Mike Herlihy Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 I’m sure this will have been covered before but can’t find anything relevant. After 32 years ownership my original toughened windscreen succumbed to a stone today and shattered on the way back from a group meeting. Pity as I was enjoying probably the last of the warm Autumn sunshine. Managed to drive home gently and successfully extract all the bits after carefully sealing up all the likely orifices. Looking at replacement laminated screens the prices vary wildly from not much at around £80 to quite a bit at around £225 or so. There is obviously a reason for this. Anyone out there have any views/experience of what’s available? I’m quite happy to fit a new one as I have all the tools and did the job before when replacing the rubber a few years ago. I also wonder if laminated screens are thicker than the toughened ones in which case my existing seal will likely be a struggle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Moltu Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 Presumably much of a muchness to achieve the relevant standards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 Hi Mike, looking a the Moss web cat they have basically two varieties - run of the mill at £89 and OE (TRiplex) a £225. https://www.moss-europe.co.uk/shop-by-model/triumph/tr5-6/body-chassis/windscreens-glazing-fittings/windscreen-tr5-6-1967-76.html bearing in mind everybody used the £89 screen before the OE was available I would suggest that it is still quite usable. I'm sure the OE screen is very good indeed. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cvtrian Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 and from memory, TR Enterprises offer a heated front screen (if they are still available) Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
