Re: New SVX Bonnet & Guard
Double checked with subaru and they confirmed that it is just the rubber molding that goes around the windscreen

Re: New SVX Bonnet & Guard
I've been through this with my windscreen as well.
Windscreen shop bought an aftermarket screen (no rubber bits) for about $NZ400, tried to get the rubber from Subaru, no go. Sent the windscreen back. We did find that Smith & Smith Glass had a screen in stock in NZ for about $NZ1500 with the correct rubber parts. If it would fit in my hand luggage I'd bring it with me. |

Re: New SVX Bonnet & Guard
My insurance company have confirmed today that my SVX will be repaired and not written off! Woo hoo! Will be fixed at Randal's Smash Repairs in Maitland, NSW - great guys to deal with.
Roof will be popped out and windscreen fitted. They will then give the car back to me to drive around in until the bonnet arrives - they found a brand new one in Japan, so may take a while to arrive. Then they'll recall the car, put the new bonnet on, panel beat the guard (only minor damage), replace the LH external mirror (hopefully buying a spare one from 'Brady'), fix rear spoiler and then spray. Luckily all mechanicals are in perfect order as they were before the roo accident! Ok, but now I'm a tad confused. The windscreen will apparently be tinted green, instead of bronze and it's coming from O'Briens Glass I think. Do they need to use the old rubber? Or should I be chasing an OEM windscreen, which apparently is still made, but only when there are enough orders for a job. Will these guys at O'Briens Glass know about reusing the rubber part automatically? Has anyone in Oz had a new aftermarket windscreen fitted and can give me any hints? |

Re: New SVX Bonnet & Guard
Would they still have it, Shane? My insurance company does specifically say that OEM parts MUST be used unless there are zero available ......

Re: New SVX Bonnet & Guard
No idea.
You might want to contact them directly : http://www.smithandsmith.co.nz It's a big outfit, so if you don't get anywhere then let me know. Even if you find one, not sure about shipping to Aus. Aren't Subaru Aus able to supply one ? |

My smash repairer has already ordered an aftermarket windscreen after he had searched high and low for an OEM one - he has meticulously heated the old rubber off the original windscreen as he knew the universal rubber would produce a lousy job. Windscreen from O"Briens. No, Subaru Aust couldn't supply one either. Checked myself. Thanks for the external mirror, Mike! Now, how long does it take for a bonnet to be shipped from Japan ....... |
