Mopar Muscle Association UK

mine was replaced £75 excess

made brand new in the uk by pilkington glass

had to provide big paper template to help with tooling/Buck identification

so if its a VH-CM car all the same

obviously helps if they were sold here

Torrana you are looking for HB or HC viva screen

monaro HQ style you are looking for same body pontiac screen for a mid 70s aussie car

commodore look to Opel catalogue or Vauxhall Omega and senator

Ford...depends on age and origin of the body style XW XY XA XB styles sold here. some late 70s 80s, are Euro cortina granada and taunus based

thanks dave

the car i am looking at is an ranchero / xa ute

the owner told me he shipped in a screen from australia as he couldnt find a supplier in the uk

hence the question

Insurers should cover it, they will just task out the job to a screen firm who then need to locate a screen and supply it from wherever it may be, even if Australia.


Dave, Carlton doesnt fit Commodore!
Commie is 2 inches wider in the shell, as Autoglass discovered once they went to fit the Carlton screen. Luckily they tried it before removing old one.

My windscreen insurance did pay to ship in a screen from Australia by me just paying the excess, so shipping and everything was swallowed by insurance.
What I did was go the the screen company direct and paid them some extra to ship a second screen in the same delivery, so that i paid about £100 extra for a screen and it came with the same shipping costs. I never did need that second screen in 17 years of ownership of that car, or the next Commodore I had.

Is this the blue XA with the Rover v8??

carlton and comodore is one to remember.... apologies

they sold XA and XB over here

someone will have had the buck to make the screen...

just got to find out who...

he couldn't find a supplier of a screen, but an insurance company might find a supplier who will make. willing to bet they have a direct line in to the person who knows...and us as members of the public have to go through the front desk..... straight to sales, who say "What? we have none in stock"

took them a couple of months for mine, but arrived made in UK...

Later Commodores and Omegas may overlap.

After being with RH for a number of years, I too was aware that it just ticked upwards every year so I made the effort to get on the phone to see if there were better deals around -
This is for a 68 Charger, agreed value, breakdown cover, etc. (So that the cover was equivalent in each case).
RH - renewal premium £240.
Brentacre - £219.
Classicline - £187.
Heritage - £145.
So not surprisingly I went with Heritage. Agreed value after emailing photos. The proof is in the pudding of course, but they appear as reputable as anyone else so let's see...

I renewed with RH after I rang them to go through details and told them other members of the car club I’m in were paying less.

They dropped the quote so I renewed without the luxury of time to sort anything else, but it saved me around £50

I’ll shop around for next year properly
