Default 411 screen

Help!!!!

Driving the 411 from Kent to my place in germany I got hit by a piece of god knows what thrown up by some lorry which cracked the screen to beyond repair status.
Does any one know where to get a new one incl the rubber seal?
All help much appreciated.
Thanks
Paul

Paul,
I am sure you could get them from Bristol Cars. However they prefer screens to be collected as there are insurance problems sending them through the post.
Good luck
Richard

I would also suggest contacting Bristol Cars.

Presumably your insurance will cover it? (I hope so, because they are expensive)

Thanks for the tips. All this happened last Thursday so I haven't even gotten around to speaking with the insurance people, and the moment I saw the crack I knew it was going to be expensive. I have written to BODA but as I'm not a member that may be an issue, probably have to join first.
The main problem will be getting it to Germany as I was not planning to drive the car back to the UK before summer.

Paul,
I suggest you try contacting Pilkington, they now promote the fact that they supply glass for classic cars and they may have representatives in Germany

Classic Glass For Classic Cars

Or ACCS (Martin Barnes)
57-65 Randell's Road, London N1.
