C34 Windscreen

[Hanso]

I had a rock hit my window over the weekend on a shitty country road and now have a crack down the driver's side. Needless to say, I need a new windscreen. Insurance covers it thankfully.

My question (and the windscreen guy's) is, does the C34 Stagea share a common windscreen with anything else? Or is it an individual item? I am not fussed whether it is an Australian or Japanese glass, I just want my windscreen fixed. If anyone has a part number too, that would be great. In the rare chance you know of a spare windscreen at a wrecker, I am in the ACT.

Cheers,

Adam

I called o'brien and they quoted me something like 650 or 850 brand new. :\

I rang several places and alot will quote you 250 or whatever (as that is what their system says) but when you ask for verification they either cant get stock or discover the screen alone minus fitting costs them 400+

I ended up paying 560 for mine fitted a couple of years back

Others have gotten lucky however and found one cheap

Mine was done through insurance and fitted by Obrien. They listed 2 screens for the c34. One with a sunstrip and one without.

Their replacement one with a sunstrip has a greenish strip across t he top. Fit is perfect. They also fitted a second window seal that looks like a factory one. Total cost was $460.

I did have to wait for a few days as they had to get it from Sydney.

I got one for about $300 - would have been a bit dearer with the element for the snow heater (defroster for the wipers) but I decided I didn't need it in NZ.

Cheers for the replies. The place here in Canberra that sub-contracts for the Shannons contractor ordered my window from Sydney, but it didn't turn up today when I arrived at the workshop. Not too happy but not much I can do. Hopefully it arrives Monday and I can get it fitted before going back to work on Tuesday.

I am taking a different way to work from now on. It may be longer than the bumpy road that I broke the windscreen on, but it is a lot smoother & part of it is brand new. I am looking forward to getting posted to somewhere next year where I do not have to drive on shit country roads whilst dodging wildlife.

always get insurance that includes free windscreen( your always going cop crap hitting your screen) i had my last one done by o'briens a couple of years ago, they turned up at my work the next day and all i did was sign for it.

The new windscreen arrived from Sydney today and took about 30 mins to fit. It has a blue sunstrip along the top. I did have what looked like an antenna on both sides of the old window, but I think it was for something in Japan and didn't worry about it. There were a Pioneer Carrozerria thing that had wires under the roof lining, I still don't really know what they are for.

My radio still works so it musn't effect that.

Anyway, I am happy having a nice new windscreen now. If you don't have glass coverage as part of your car insurance, I highly recommend you take it out.
