I'm doing a restoration on my 1984 GTV6 and replacing the windscreen. Just wondering if anyone has used the seals and new windscreens available on ebay and if they work ok. I've seen windscreens and seals advertised for much more in the UK and USA and am wondering about the quality of these ones. As they say the bitterness of poor quality lasts longer than the pleasure of cheap price.

Thanks for any advice.

Thanks a lot for the feedback. My windscreen seal looks ok I'm just worried that after I pop the windscreen it might not be reusable - damaged or brittle. I will try the removal approach that I've seen on the various threads but want to make sure that if I break the glass or damage the seal I have a plan B. I will likely see if my old windscreen can be renewed/polished after I take it out to keep the antenna, but I think it is a bit too pitted. I am removing the windscreen (actually all the glass) to do metal work and a respray.
