It's £1500 because the heated 'screen is now only supplied compete with it's chrome frame from MMC, which dealers have to order, however the bonus is that it's easy and quick to fit
Yes, it has been known for a very tight hood mechanism to 'twist' the screen and tends to show as a diagonal crack top left or right
Hope you didn't go with a cheap insurer as some now have an upper limit on 'screen claims
Isn't there an option to send the whole thing back and have a new glass fitted ? Seems like a wasteful and unnecessarily expensive way of replacing a piece of flat glass.
If Morgan follow their usual pattern the surrounds won't be available in a few years anyway and someone will then have to come up with an alternative.
Yes, I sort of agree, but I think MMC now buy then in as a sub-assembly and I doubt many owners would want the hassle if the insurer will pay anyway and the maker of just the heated glass OE part won't supply individuals
I've done at least 2 'screens the old fashioned way & replaced the glass myself, it's a bit of a pain and can be quite time consuming if the old rubber seals are perished, new ones are exceedingly tight in the U channel and mixed with sharp glass can lead to some choice words and several plasters, that reminds me the old F Type screen has cracked again (and it doesn't even have a hood) perhaps body flex ?
