Default Busted Windscreen

Can anyone suggest where I can get a new glass for my Cobra in the Newcastle / Sydney area. The frame is good .just a crack from top to bottom on the L.H side.

Hi Rob

MIne got cracked during construction and I went to the local Novus dealer. They took the glass out of the frame and sent away to Brisbane and had one made cheaper than I could buy one from a specialist shop.

Cheers
Brett

Not bad, How does the lexan stand up to wiper blades. My impression is it will scratch.
Thanks for all the other suggestions too.
Rob.

Shannons allow one free each year on their policies, surely they must have a contact in each state?

Speak to Ian at Classic Revival. Cracked one a few years ago and he had a few spare in stock. Cost around 300 but shannons covered that

Bryan

As Bryan has said, Windscreens O'Brien have a part number for them, most likely not stocked at every location, but they do have them.
Also most insurers allow 1 screen replacement each year.

Ok...I'm not insured yet so the freebee is out. I'll give windscreens o'brien and novus a call.
That lexan one sounds good too.
Thanks again.
