Safari windscreen
Posted: Wed May 16, 2012 8:32 pm
Hi Guys
My SWB saf took a rock to the windscreen recently and i have had to replace it.
As the rubber was over 20 years old I decided to put a new one in as well.
Nissan dealer in Aus quoted $330 Aust for a new seal, nissan part. This was one that allowed me to use the silver insert.
So I decided to do some research on alternatives. These guys have an aftermarket rubber that is well rated on the Aussi website, so I decided to get one. The price is $120 Aus plus postage at around $40 Aus for courier service, I guess standard post would be cheaper if available.
The only thing is that you cant use the silver inserts with it, which isnt a biggy to me. One possible advantage as far as leaks go is that it is a one piece unit unlike the original.
It arrived today and appears to be well made.
