A tool looking like a needle is used to cut the windscreen glue; the needle is passed through between the window frame and winscreen and by pulling the steel cable it actually slices the bonded glue. <br /> <br />These tools are widely found in auto parts stores with cost no more than 3 €. <br /> <br />Regards,</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subRed/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>RFlower</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subRed/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Thu Aug 23, 2007 11:43 am<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Unfortunately I don't have windscreen insurance on this car, as it's an option on the "collection" policy I have. I didn't intend using it much when I bought it, and didn't think of increasing the cover when we began using it as our regular car. <br /> <br />We have used it for 3 1/2 years now, I have fitted a lot of new parts, also many parts from a near-new car in a nearby breaker's, but most of these are common with the Sprint. <br /> <br />It does seem a shame to break it, as it's in pretty good order (apart from a little crease I put on the LH front wing), but it's not saleable here and cost to drive back to UK+ferry+MOT is probably more than it's worth. <br /> <br />I can send parts back to UK fairly cheaply via <a href="http://www.loadup.co.uk" target="_blank">www.loadup.co.uk</a> . If several people there want parts I could consolidate them into one shipment to be shared out there. <br /> <br />Does anyone know if these windscreens can be re-used if taken from another car? There are at least two in the breaker's.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subRed/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>john 33_16v</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subRed/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Thu Aug 23, 2007 8:43 am<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Seems a shame to break it.

The windscreen is now definitely illegal. <br /> <br />Has anyone else seen this happen? <br /> <br />As I don't want to pay out for a new windscreen, this will probably precipitate the demise of the 33 as engine donor for the Sprint. I will probably also keep the newish shocks, some suspension and exhaust parts common to both cars, and the newish fuel tank, although the Sprint tank is OK as it has spent its life in a dry climate (Spain) or in the garage here. <br /> <br />When I do take the car off the road, is anyone in France interested in any parts? - I think shipping to UK would probably be too expensive. <br /> <br /><img src="http://usera.imagecave.com/panjang/Alfa33BackMar04small.jpg" border="0" /> <br /> <br /> <br /><img src="http://usera.imagecave.com/panjang/Alfa33FrontMar04small.jpg" border="0" /></span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subRed/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
