Advise on windscreens for MK

24 Jun 2013, 4:24pm
Hey all,
I am wanting to replace my small polycarbonate fly windscreen with a full size screen for proper protection. I have read that full size polycarbonate screens are not legal anyone know? also if you have a full screen do you need wipers for MOT etc? any suggestions on where to have a screen made either poly or glass and how much are wipers to buy and fit?
cheers for any advise!

Hi, I talked to a rally glass manufacturer a few years ago (I can't remember who though) who could custom make E marked glass so try searching for that sort of company? Easiest wasy would be to talk to your local windscreen supplier and measure up a few to see what fits (it'll be a load cheaper too)

if you have a windscreen then you will need wipers, mine uses a modified rover 200 wiper mechanism and motor, some kits use ford parts. Also, don't forget the washers either.

A couple of hours down the scrap yard may be in order.
