How to fit Split Windscreen?
Posted: Tue Apr 12, 2011 12:06 am
I would like to fit a new split windscreen to Emily, my 1971 Morris Minor 1000 Saloon. I have the bits but not the knowhow. Can anyone help please?

Welcome to the messageboard. I'm a bit confused by your message though as a 1971 Minor would have a one piece windscreen, not a split screen. Are you sure that it's a 1971 car? Does it currently have a split screen?

Yes, the split screen cars have a completely different shape aperture. The two pieces of glass are flat and the bodyshell is different to accommodate that.

Sorry I made a mistake with the year! 
It's an early one. Emily actually belongs to my hubby. He bought her as an unfinished project.

This subject has been covered extensively, I would advise you to read all the threads, especially in the Series MM section. You will then know what you are letting yourself in for and change your mind.

Hey, thanks very much - quite a bit of info in the Series MM Section. We'll give it a go ourselves and see how we get on.
