Got a price of about £160 fitted including vat.
Anyone else had one fitted?
Car isnt insured, is nearly out of test and its bad enough to fail so cant claim.
Just wondered if anyone had found anywhere cheaper.

Wiper spindle
One layer cracked to the pillar, other layer cracked up and towards the center. It extends about 4" into the swept area.

The Jimny windscreen is bonded in.

Having read your previous topic and considering your present comments I would be tempted to get shut of this Jimny and try again as it will cost you more to fix this up than it will to replace it.
In general its not a bad car. Little bit of rust, little untidy in places but runs and drives lovely.
It was the typical cenario. We had £1k budget so had given up on finding a jimny. Couldnt find anything under that which wasnt spares or repair, needing major work.
Of course the minute I bought this one I found 2 much better, far lower mileage cheaper ones!
Never mind, im not bothered. I enjoy playing with cars and am capable of doing any work required myself (ive never had anyone fix anything on a car for me in my life!).
It only needs to serve my wife for a year as her first car. The whole situation was going great untill I stupidly cracked the screen!

So the £86 is the price window fitters pay for the screen....I need to get in touch with him again to see if he found one with the sunstrip in like they have in europe.

The less common the windscreen type the more expensive the screen.
