The hooded yoof in the background of picture no 4 unfortunately does nothing to encourage any credibility that its current owner treated it with loving care...

Pics sent Dave - if they look suitable, then maybe put them on here with your know how? !

Yes, why isn't it straightforward to load pictures on here to the uneducated? The other car forums I visit, it's so easy, and even I can do it....

The past owners certainly haven't been 'meticulous' in its care by the look of it - looks pretty sh*t to me and in probably the worse colour (imho of course...)

« on: 21 September 2023, 21:23:36 »Thanks for the reply MR Johnnydog
I don't have a whatsapp sorry
sounds like ,from what you are saying, that I'm completely wrong about the 6mm gap
outer seals are tight top and bottom ,but the top corners have been a mangled mess since i got the Omega .
I can email them if you wish Dave...

My insurance company don't class a glass repair or replacement as a 'claim' either...only know because I had a windscreen claim (not on an Omega) plus all the recalibration that went with it to the total tune of £1600 
And the excess was NIL which a further bonus

All my 3 Elites have got their original screens fitted Dave, and all of them have a noticeable gap on the windscreen side of the vertical mouldings. You can see the metal retainer clips at the lower most edge adjacent to the screen. The gap disappears as the moulding passes through the 90 degree bend at the top of the screen, and at this point the moulding sits flush with the screen across the top of the screen.
Looking at the damage to the moulding on the offside, that certainly looks terribly misshapen and only a new moulding will rectify that.
The problem is that genuine mouldings are now hard to source, as are the retainers. They were part of a new GM screen (and I also assume aftermarket screens) but I have bought them individually too.
It does look however like some cannibal has been at the offside moulding on your car...
A good indication of how well a replacement screen has been fitted is how tight the upper 90 degree bend of the moulding sits against the start of the roof panel.
I have some photos of my screens as fitted from new , but I've been ununable to fathom out how to get photos on this site....perhaps pm me and I can WhatsApp them???
