smighall 1 Posted November 16, 2006 Now i'm pretty sure that all 205 windscreens are the same, but i wanted to check before i go to the scrappy tomorrow to get a replacement for my cracked one. Can anybody confirm this for me? Cheers Sean Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,657 Posted November 16, 2006 some were tinted, wouldnt bother with a scrappy oen though, it'll be a biatch to get out and transport, and will be as scratched as any other cscreen youll find. 205 screens are cheap anyway! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smighall 1 Posted November 16, 2006 Hmmm, how much are screens new? I'm a touch low on funds at the moment, which is why i was going to go to a scrappy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baz 421 Posted November 16, 2006 There's a difference in the rubbers too, sunroof ones and non sunroof ones differ at the top. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smighall 1 Posted November 16, 2006 Well i am planning on re-using my current rubber from the car, and fit the replacement windscreen to that. Are you sayin they are a slightly different size then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baz 421 Posted November 16, 2006 No there's just a lip to direct airflow over the top of the sunroof on sunroof models, and the same profile all the way round on the non sunny's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edp 67 3 Cars Posted November 16, 2006 So sunroof ones fit to non sunroof ones then? GTi models have bronze tint, i'm unsure whether non gtis have the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baz 421 Posted November 16, 2006 Yep, sorry, they still all fit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 244 3 Cars Posted November 16, 2006 GTi models have bronze tint, i'm unsure whether non gtis have the same. Most base models don't, I also think the XS has a different tint to the GTi. pre 1991 Post 1991 Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
munky205 0 Posted November 17, 2006 I got a new gti screen and was told by the 'glass man' that it had a very light brown tint to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hilgie 16 2 Cars Posted November 17, 2006 Correct...it's bronze tinted. I always use a new rubber as it is very easy to damage the rubber and it will start to leak. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

richard 0 Posted November 29, 2006 Dino had a dark green tint on his sorrento (RIP). Nice it was too, and something i'll be looking at putting into mine when the need arises. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
