Hey all, I get in my car yesterday and notice there is a nice crack in the windscreen, for the life of me I dont know how it got there lol.

Anyways, Just looking for a decent place that will replace it in the Eastern suburbs.

Any recommendations of places you guys have had experiences with?

Cheers.

OBriens once quoted me over 600 to replace the windscreen in my mz20 soarer, called around some more and had it fitted for 200. The place is on a magnet on my fridge at home though

I'd recommend you to call up National Windscreens. O'Brien did a terrible job on my windscreen replacement. 2 weeks after replacing my windscreen, the rear view mirror FELL OFF. Don't think i need to explain more.

National Windscreens will come to your house to replace the windscreen just like O'Briens.

What about replacing the rear windscreen with one that doesn't have a rear wiper??

I know this has been covered in other topics, and people thinks it looks stupid etc without the wiper and there's heaps of opinions, but as i have no spoiler LED brake lights and a scratched up old rear tint anyway, i was thinking of replacing the rear window with a plain one like in some other models, and where the wiper motor currently is replace this with the brake light?? I'm getting a RWC and this is an item that i'll need to address...

Has anybody done this?

Has anybody any ideas of price?

Does anybody else think its a waste of my money and I should just put a strip of lights at the top of my rear window LOL

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
