I have a crack in my windscreen and have to use Auto Glass to replace it. I have told them my screen has a grey top tint as they tried to offer a green top tint. Is there such a thing as grey top tint because it definitely doesn't look green. I don't have a rain sensor for my wipers but is there anything else I should be aware of? Thanks
 
Aerial in the windcsreen perhaps? The 996 has one running up the centre of the screen.

James, there's a thread on here somewhere where I had my screen replaced by Autoglass...never again. (It is all region specific though), but the thread highlighted what I thought were pertinent points of things to look out for....

Ah ha...here you go. http://911uk.com/viewtopic.php?t=41191
 
I had my screen replaced by Autowindscreens (via Insurance). They were brilliant.They sent someone who had done many Porsches before. Came to the house were very very careful with no damage of any kind. Screen is perfect with no creaking or squeeking at all.
 
997 windscreens also have sat nav antenna within then. I insisted that mine was replaced with an original item, took 2 weeks to arrive but did look and perform exactly as the original specification.
 
I don't think there is a pattern windscreen for the 997. I was informed that there is only one available and that is the original Porsche screen. :dont know:
 
Thanks ResB your link was perfect and I have copied your 12 points so that I can go through this with the fitter. I will ask before anyone comes out that he/she must have done a 997 screen before.

Thanks for the great advice.
