WELCOME TO THE FORUM :woohoo:
I assume that it is a glass panel screen that has split, the best replacements come from MGFMANIA for £185 and fitting is easy. See the video link that psymon has linked. let us know how you get on please :woohoo:

I think it's a plastic screen, Bryan.:yesnod:
Still i would replace it with a Glass one, a plastic replacement will cost around a £100, so for £200 you get a screen that you can see through, that has demist, and you can drop in any weather with no fear of splitting it. :yesnod::thumbsup:

ps I'm sure there is a screen replacement firm in the Darlington/Teeside area, but I can't find any details.:shrug:
