Post by: VXL V6 on 05 March 2009, 19:43:34: Some are, some aren't

Believe the differences are facelifts with rain sensitive wipers and some of the very last facelifts had heat reflective screens though I have never seen one in the flesh.

Also not siure if some screens don't have the top shadeband

Post by: VXL V6 on 05 March 2009, 20:06:02: If you fit a heat reflective screen where on wasn't previously fitted I believe you will need to get the solar sensor sensitivity / climate panel adjusted to compensate.

Post by: MutantCav on 05 March 2009, 20:06:06: Ok I'll change the question as I didnt think it was so complicated lol

Will the windscreen from a 2000 V reg facelift saloon fit a 98 R reg estate do you think?
Title: Re: Are all Omega Windscreens the same?
Post by: VXL V6 on 05 March 2009, 20:07:41: Well they will all fit as they are all the same size etc.
;)
Title: Re: Are all Omega Windscreens the same?
Post by: Entwood on 05 March 2009, 20:12:44: Looking at the EPC, the diagrams show both the saloon & estates as having the same windscreens, and the "range" is up to -X1999999, and no other range/breakpoint is specified .....

So if I had to guess I'd say it would fit .... but maybe someone who knows the EPC better than I would give a more conclusive answer.

HTH

Physically any Omega screen will fit any Omega as the body shell never changed only bumpers and trim and various bolt on panels between prefacelift and facelift.
