Yesterday I unpacked my tinted windscreen for the  first time since receipt from the company 7 years ago. I then spent hours  grinding it to shape and size before trial clamping it into position - then I  looked through it at the sunny view outside. Virtually the whole screen distorts  the view to a greater or lesser extent.

 I would just like to know whether this is par for  the course or have I got the Monday morning product from the factory. How have  others fared? I would be interested to know what other screens are  like.

 One more job on hold.

 Thanks in advance.

I believe that there have been issues with the  screens before, Mike, but I do not know what people have done about it. Mine are  not optically perfect - have a word with Ian Rickard before speaking to the  factory.

Mike,



I had procrastinated on specifying color for my windscreen and side 

windows and was left out in the cold when the company went belly up so 

I intend to order direct from LP Aero which (I believe) supplied most 

if not all of the glazing for the US-delivered Europas. If you decide 

on a replacement, you might consider a new material which LPA is 

offering as an upgrade which I believe has improved UV screening; LPA 

was talking it up at their booth at Sun N Fun.

Thanks Fred, I'm presently in contact with Europa  (UK) to see if they can help but it may well be necessary to order from LP Aero  as screens are no longer made in UK. I believe the US screens are only  produced with smokey grey tint or no tint at all which is a bind as I have  already fitted the brown tint version in the doors. By the way I have tried 2  screens so far and both have the same horizontal faults in the perspex  which distort the view when the screen is angled in its proper position in its  frame. (The view is fine when viewed at right angles to the  surface).

 It is interesting and a little surprising that  nobody else reports anything other that minor areas of distortion with their  screens; maybe my 2 came from the same bad batch.
