    Default Replacement of RT 51 windscreen

    Im trying to replace a cracked windscreen on the RT51 coupe.

    Which windscreens should fit? any of the other toyota coupes of the era?

    I quess what im trying to ask is, what models of early coronas had the same/similar bodyshape, pillar angle as a 51 coupe.

    Hopefully there is a windscreen from a more common model that will fit?? or be similar in shape.... :S

    I have a guy from O'Briens windscreens scouring suppliers in Australia and overseas at the moment, but it isnt looking very great.

    My advice is try someone other than O'Brien.

    I had similar troubles with my KE25 windscreen, the quotes that I got are below, and in the end the only one that didn't ring back an hour after the quote saying that their supplier didn't have the glass was Auto Glass. They may be able to help you also, their number is (03) 9562 9088.
    Auto Glass - $195
    National Windscreens - $245
    Instant Windscreens - $300
    O'Brien Windscreens - $380

    I tried a place called Protector Glass industries, who said they could find a windscreen and then offered me a moulded perspex piece, which is no good.

    Ill try Auto Glass, to see if they can help me out...

    My other option is to find a place that will make a short run of custom windscreens, keep a few and sell the rest. Only problem is again im hitting dead ends here as well.

    Thanks again
