Only just seen this thread (despite vanzep tagging me in it).
Ref taking a screen out of a breaker - I've had a go and failed miserably (even though I have successfully removed 2 rear screens just fine)
It's absolute bollocks that the screens are no longer available - someone else on here had one changed just a couple of months ago, I had one done a couple of years ago (rare bronze tint too) and they got it next day. Autoglass will probably only check stock at Laddaw (that's their trade distribution arm) whereas an independent may check other sources too.
If none of them are being sensible, tell them to talk to Pilkington, who list them as available;

(code 3942)
Don't forget to check your window tint though - there were at least two different colours available. Being a UK car, it's probably a green tint, but check to be sure.
The 4th gen moulding/clips were readily available aftermarket from rejel but alas they are now no longer available. I have successfully removed the trim from 4g breakers before, although the clips are normally impossible to get because they get partially bonded with the UPVC. They're still available from Honda AFAIK, though.
As mec says, a 5g trim can be used instead and they're still available from rejel;

Thanks everybody for your comments. And particular thanks to Mr Wurlycorner for your very helpful suggestions. I'll see where I get with Pilkington and let you all know. The glass is clear, incidentally, not tinted. And yes, I've had my 4G since it was a puppy. Can't believe it was 23 years ago...

I had my screen replaced a year ago , pretty sure it was blue tinted one and there was limited stock then . I think there was more green tint but the price difference was nearly 3 times as much .
I'm now needing another screen so will be seeing what they say now .
I used a local company to me in Chelmsford though .

Nope - like I say, Pilkington definitely make them.Vtecmec wrote:This is concerning, are we a stone chip away from having our cars written off.
And they will also make a windscreen for any classic car that they don't already list (I presume the specials attract a special price, too though!) so we're quite safe.
I do have a stock of rear screens tucked away in my back bedroom though
