Good morning all,
requesting some knowledge from other Cupra and Ibiza owners. I had my windscreen crack around the rear vision mirror on Monday. Quick call to NRMA and an hour later O'Brien were calling to book me in. My doubts of a new one been in the country were unfounded when they said they had one in stock for my Cupra. ALMOST.... when got to work shop the glass appears to be right size but the rear vision mirror position doesn't match mine. Being only glass left in country and me needing to pass rego next day we decided to fit it. So my mirror is fitted to bare glass for now. O'Brien are now trying to source the right screen but all there info doesn't match my original. My question is where are everyones mirrors mounted. My original was mounted on a Black screen printed 40 mm diameter circle 160 mm down from the top edge of the windscreen. The temporary windscreen has a black screen print patch at top of screen which is too high for my mirror. Rikk at O'Brien in Minto has been outstanding trying to find it through the official paths; although the 'official' Seat support in the county, Autohaus, have been there usual useful selves. When O'Brien themselves called to see if they had any left in Seat stock, they weren't sure and suggested calling a windscreen place.....
O'Brien has kept my screen, taken photos and measurements trying to find one. They also fitted over last 12 months the same model of windscreen to 100 or so cars so a few of you out there may be some help.
admittedly it is mostly cosmetic issue but everyone just wants to get correct screens in stock; especially for all the other Cupra's out there at the unfortunate time they need one.
Sorry for the small novel and thanks in advance for help.
