snow run out

[chrislafleur]

Had to go to the boro for a new windscreen yesterday in the snow[old one chipped]its right what they say even at 20mph the back end just wants to go reel scary stuff but great fun got back all in one peace if you want to try this the roads have to be clear.

I've not had mine out in the snow this winter.

Who did your windscreen? I've heard it's not easy to get the bonding right and keep the tension there for the roof section.

I had mine done by autoglass on the team valley. Took about a week to get the screen and I was a bit worried about them doing it but they did a top job. My windscreen insurance covered it so it only cost the £60 excess. This was for my Chimaera BTW

Autowindscreens on canon park.
There did seam to be some confusion on which seal to use and at one point the lad said something about a merc seal but he did get have two or three from tvr The door needs a good bang shut i will put that down to been new dont know if it is waterproof but they give a 3year warranty.

Hi,
Had the Tuscan out a few times this week, bloody fantastic. Who needs to waste money on skid pans. I also used the guys on cannon park but the stuff they used was not strong enough and the top seal will come off at hi speeds. I had my screen sealed on my Chimaera while i was down in Bristol and they used an extra strong seal, but it had to be requested. Hopefully you got the good stuff on yours, you'll know by summer time.

Just took it out to clean and the seal is coming away at the joint already but no leaks/
tvr5000 do you know the name of the sealant that was used on your chim ?

[chrislafleur]

Its going back
The windscreen appears to have a floor in it and the seal is coming away at the joint

It's a real shame but I hear this too often. In the end people tend to give up and pay a dealer to do the final fixings.

The insurance compant sent me there and it only cost £50 The guy that came today did seam to have some idea and he said he has fitted them before i will give them 3 goes.
I am a optimist.
