Reckon you'll struggle with this, difficult item indeed. Never really understood why they changed the glass tint on the vx coupe hardly anyone would notice the difference

Apparently we can get one from Pilkington via an agent,
doubt if it will have the bronze tint though.

If it's made to order I suppose there's an outside chance but I have a feeling they don't make bronze tint these days. original screens are difficult as the cars are now pretty old so original screens are well worn I have two for my vx the original has a chip and is scratched and the spare has slight delamination on the edges ( hopefully not visible with the rubber fitted). Have you bought a vx or is it for a friend?

With reference to my experience http://www.betaboyz.myzen.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=1138.0 I wish you luck! You'll get a bronze tinted screen if you want one but if it's made by Pilkington it won't fit... not unless they have rebuilt their jig; and they told me back then there was no way that was happening.

Is it possible that Pilkingtons jig is for the bonded, rather than the smaller (VX/ie) rubber seal screen? Not that this helps?

You know, I hadn't thought of that little detail at all...
If the screens are actually a different size, and you'd certainly assume they would be, then they must have two jigs.
It would be very interesting to know if the other jig is still accurate. I say interesting, maybe a moot point though, as where on earth would you get a rubber? There weren't any available back in 2011.

no idea of the reliablity of these sources, I did have a link to the manufacturer of seals in italy but cant find it at the moment, I guess that cavallito or mara will probably stock them as well?
