Rover 75 Saloon windscreen replacement

mat2504 · 27th July 2015, 21:18

Being a recent victim of a pebble-attack following 'surface dressing', my 75 is currently off the road awaiting a new windscreen. I can't grumble at only having to pay the excess however, 10 days on, AutoGlass haver still not been able to replace the windscreen - the glass is now back in stock but they are struggling to soruce the trim clips.

I've not been able to get a straight answer from them, but I suspect they are struggling to find DCC100350 - does anyone know of a source, or an alternative? Timing could not be better - MOT is due in a week and my trusty 1.8 would quite like going back into semi-retirement instead of doing the 400 miles a week that the V6 does!

Thanks

Have they broken the clips? Three years ago I was on holiday in Cornwall and had to have the windscreen replaced. National windscreens did the job but all the trim clips were reused. They did a very good job.

No not yet - they won't attempt the job without the clips and seemed very unimpressed with my suggestion that, if they are slow and carful, I'd like to think they can do it without breaking them.
