Has anyone recently had a new windscreen fitted?
I have tried 4 different screens at two fitting companies all the screens fit at the top and sides but the bottom portion only touches at the outside edges, the middle has a gap of about 10 to 15 mm between the glass and the body.
Not sure what to try next, any suggestions?

Do you know what make the screens were? We have fitted many S screens from Pilkington, made on the original tooling, and have never had a problem. We usually keep a couple of tint options in stock.

Hi Phil

Thanks for the quick reply, the car is currently in the National Windscreens Milton Keynes depot, Richard is doing his best to sort it out.
The screens I have tried are Pilkington and Triplex, all pretty much the same in fit.

National Mobile fitted mine (had to be replaced due to de-lamination) but was a first class job which fitted well - thanks Phil

I had mine fitted by Phil's company Mobile Windscreens and it was a top, top job.
