picking up a quad bike for my little girl last night in the F.........

when i got there, it was a little bigger than expected, but no problem, i'm in a soft top!

so, i lower the roof........

and,

CRACK!

4 inch split in the rear screen :rant:

i wouldnt mind too much, but it wasn't even that cold :-?

guess it's time for a new screen, or a decent hood if i can find one :(

cheers leigh.

i have seen a later style glass screen hood (doesn't look like the rear screen can zip out?) in grey for £160. not sure how good that would look with a red car? could always dye it with renovo?

Maggie very kindly swapped my cr*p hood with George's at the end of our Scotland trip :hugs:

This was grey and I got it to black with Renovo without any problem. However having followed her advice regarding liquid sheo polish, I used 2 bottles of that (£1.98) to recolour this year and I think it may actually give a better black than the £20+ Renovo.

Just remember to use Renove Ultra Proofer to make it all waterproof and stop any potential runs ;)

It isnt expensive to get a new plastic window sewn in. £100 ish. But if you are fue a new hood then that would be good money after bad. I think the glass ones do zip, but you dont need to. I was in an LE when the hood was piut down, I'm so used to unzipping it it felt really odd to just fold it down in about 2 seconds

£70 to have a new plastic one fitted if you're near Cheshire.

Im afraid guys its getting colder and the safeist thing to do is unzip your plastic screens now before dropping your roofs

Ive just my winter duvet back on the bed :whistle:
