Windscreen - when did they stop doing bonded?

[HFStuart]

Does anyone know when they switched the screen on the Spider from bonded type to rubber sealed and how I might tell the difference on a bare screen?

Hi Stuart

Did not realise there were any UK unbonded versions on Spider, I thought it came in after they had finished?

The difference will be in the p/n, but I had both next to each other and there is just a centimetre or so difference in the size, so I would measure them to make sure.

They definitely differ in height. As far as I know the bonded windscreen, at least in coupes and HPEs is ca 1cm higher than the rubber seal mounted (68,5cm)

Also thought only the VX and ie models had the unbonded screen in the UK.

Will try to check the microfiche when I have time, not convinced that lancia would have fitted the rubber seal type to spiders as the bonded screen will assist rigidity never actually tried it but I was under the impression that the screens are interchangeable in that you could fit a screen with rubber to a bonded screen car(??) anyone know for certain?

I can confirm they are different sizes and hence would not be able to fit the later one to a bonded screen.

I thought the aperture was the same and the sealing method dictated the difference in screen size as the rubber seal is thicker ??

That is the point.

My VX has a bonded screen from new.
