Re: new rear screen
oppss !!!
I thought my couple of cracks on the rear screen were bad but mine is very minimal compared to yours. New rear screen for me once the better weather comes. Tape over cracks will do until then

Re: new rear screen
I used Car Hood warehouse, they are in Chessington (opposite the theme park)
Good service and relatively inexpensive - had the plastic screen replaced (couldn't justify the cost of a whole new hood with Glass Screen) and it still looks good as new today (had it done about 3 years ago).

Re: new rear screen
There are a number of products that can be very successfully used to polish the plastic rear windows.kweaver86 wrote:marty, did you end up getting this fixed, if so were and how cheap did you find it..

I would try that option first.
I have used a product called Hindsight which transformed my window. But other products include Greygate, and Autoglym do one too.

Re: new rear screen
Why not buy a hard top for the winter they make all the difference. I'm scrapping my mgf at the end of Feb and will be selling its hardtop for £350. As they are £1500 new and its in perfect condition its a good buy. If you want to come round and try it on for size feel free to call. I live in Pulborough W Sussex
