MA70 Supra Windscreen - Interchangable ?

[24vtoy]

hey guys

im having a problem sourcing a windscreen for my MA70 supra because of my location. :icon_mad:

ive tried all major windscreen outlets and their is nothing listed

so i just like to know, do yourl know if there is any other cars windscreen that will work on mine ?

 

[roadboy]

i kinda doubt other cars windshield would work on ours, mine was the last one in Ontario

 

[bioskyline]

sadly no, just the A70 chasis only

 

[destrux]

Yikes, south africa, huh?

Maybe you could call a large glass company in the UK or US and have it shipped... it would be expensive though.

 

[24vtoy]

yeah destrux

tried that and the quoted me prices for almost half of what the car is worth

im weighing my options now with either going the perspex or lexan route

 

[hvyman]

How bad is it?

Lexan will have to be replaced over and over depending on how much you drive. It scratches easily so it will eventually fog up and be hard to see out of.

 

[24vtoy]

its not too bad buddy but cracked from the centre all the way up to the drivers side.

but its gona start spreading more with time ?

what about perspex ? i dont think its legal tho to use that or lexan

 

[hvyman]

It may or may not crack more.

Its kinda eye sore but if you can deal with it id just keep using it.

I wonder if you could fly over somewhere, Have someone with a replacement meet you at the air port, and then use the glass as your carry on and fly back?? Might be cheaper than shipping it.

 

[supraguy@aol]

A windshield as carry-on??:yikes:
I *don't* think that'll "fit easily into the overhead compartment, or under the seat in front".

Isn't the windshield a structural part of the MKIII..?

 

[supraguy@aol]

Not sure, Razoe. But I can tell you that a guy just told me to make sure that when they replace the windshield on a targa,
that they should use an adhesive strip, and not glue the windshield into place. This will allow it to flex in the frame.
I have to get my windshield replaced again due to a full-length crack. Got 600 miles out of this one, windshield #3.
