    Help! Rear screen has shattered.... Anyone know where to find a replacement?

    So.... Over the weekend the rear screen shattered.... I can only imagine from the cold and coming up to 20 years old. Its kept in a semi insulated garage so a bit of a surprise as didn't think it got that cold in there!

    I spoke to insurance/ windscreen company and they can't source a screen through Nissan or a pattern part...

    I'm a bit stuck, does anyone know where else I could try getting an s14a rear screen?

    My sisters rear screen broke itself in the summer on her ibiza. If its part of the tailgate could you not get a tailgate from someone breaking theirs?

    Is it too aggressive for you?

    Otherwise, bound to be in breakers.

    Try Pilkington Automotive.

    The Queensborough site specialises in all sorts of unusual and old styles, I think it has moved to the Redditch branch now, but give the guys a call there, some even have 200sx's so they would be a good place to call.

    Cheers Scottie, I they gave them a try but they didn't have anything. And as its not a classic they don't have the tooling to custom make one....

    I wouldn't mind any colour atm

    I'm sure their must be a warehouse somewhere full of screens! I really don't want to fit a used item but looks like its the only way now....

    What year and model is your car, is it a UK one? Will see if someone can do a stock search on the database. I guess the closest site to you we have is Avonmouth.

    AGR (Aftermarket Glass Replacement) warehouses are Crawley, Avonmouth, Heathrow, Redditch (main), Cambridge, Manchester, Rotherham, Glasgow, Dublin but they can move stock between the lot. Avonmouth is 0844 800 0352 or 01527 505 824 give them a try as I think they can search stock across the lot.

    What about giving Bren a call? He might still have a connection to the supplier that made the heated fronts for him, they were cheap. Perhaps they could do rears and you could order a few and sell them on?

    Id ask around all the JDM breakers or driftshop garages as they may have some in stock or had replaced their ones with perspex. GarageD or garage21, JDMdistro etc.

    Cheers guys for all your help

    I tried all the above suggestions but had no luck with finding a new one....

    Luckily someone had a used one locally so snapped that up. I might grab another to put into storage!
