Hi Guys
due to the lack of availability of new Aristo front windscreens, I made some enquiries about having some moulded using an original one from the car I'm parting out.
They will only do it if I pay for the mould and a minimum run up front and I'm still confirming the exact prices, but so far it looks like if I can get 10 sold up front at a cost of $250-$300 each, then it becomes a viable operation as it means I'm not having to outlay too much of my own money up front
It also means there is a firm supply of brand new windscreens in Oz, as currently, all my enquiries have fallen on deaf ears except for Toyota and hot d@mn they want a lot of money for a windscreen!
So if there is any interest guys, let me know - as I have had quite a few phone calls in the past and beyond ordering from Toyota Japan or Toyota US and air freighting, there have been no real viable options and it would suck to be without your Aristo for a month or more due to a shattered windscreen!
Has any one tried instant windscreens? I have got one of them in the past for about $280. It did take them about 4 attempts to find one that will fit but they managed it in the end.
