Porsche scuttle repair

[stichill99]

I have some bubbling starting to come out from the front windscreen seal on 911. Would like some reccomendations for honest good bodyshop in Edinburgh / Midlothian area. Has anyone had dealings with m l motorsport in Rosewell?

I don't know anyone to recommend, but if the prospective bodyshop has 993 experience, it's always a good start.

For the record, is the windscreen does have to come out, they don't break on removal; fitters break them. In extreme/rare cases, the really badly fitted 'screens will be a problem as will saving the trim frame (on the edge of the glass). The trim frame is not a separate part (comes on a new windscreen).

+1 looking for Edinburgh bodyshop recommendations, I am wanting someone to do a sunroof delete on my Alfa GTV (has a dreadful aftermarket sunroof, which has badly degraded).

I reckon this kind of work might be beyond the "smart repair" kind of bodyshops - I'm looking for an old-school craftsman.

Hi Glassman When I had the scuttle painted on my 993 8 years ago you reccomended a fitter in East Kilbribe who was spot on and did a fine job. My 993 has been written off and been replaced with a 964 so not a bonded screen. 8 years ago I used Colin McNair at Performance bodyshop but Colin is sadly no longer with us hence the need for a new bodyshop!

I’d have no hesitation in recommending Matt at Ecosse Automotive in Bo’ness. He’s also Porsche daft himself and his 996 GT2 is a thing to behold.
