Caterham windshield replacement


Kitcat

Recommended Posts

I took my car into my favorite mechanic with a long list of to-do's, including replacing the windshield, which has several small, but growing, cracks. The windshield is now off but he's having problems finding replacement glass. Seems everything in the states is 1/4 inch thick and the Caterham uses 5 mm glass, so the Caterham glass is a bit thinner. And, the 1/4 stuff doesn't fit easily into the grove cut into rubber gasket into which the glass is mounted.

 

Any ideas, other than ordering a stock windshield from my friendly (but expensive) Caterham dealer?

I'm on my 2nd windscreen as well, same issue with the slow spreading circle cracks.

If in the end you land at the dealer option, ask for the "glass only", i.e. without the frame and w/o the screen heater.

It's still a 3-layer safety glass!
