    Default MX83 Grande windscreen seal.

    Hi there, I was just wondering if its possible to replace the windscreen trimmings on the cressida to a full rubber one instead, cause the current trimmings are broken and is leaky, causing some rust to bubble under the surface of the paint, resulting in me needing to sand it off and primer it.

    If possible, any recommendations as to where I should go to reseal the windscreen in Perth would be fantastic, or is O'brien adequate enough?

    Cheers.

    The chrome trim doesn't actually seal the windscreen, the adhesive does. Any windscreen specialist can reseal it. If you want to permanently stop the rusting you'll need to sand/repair the rust whilst the windscreen is out.
    Now - 1988 GX81 Mark II- 7MGTE, GT35R, TiAL 44m, Microtech, 550cc injectors, R154, Xtreme clutch, LSD.... Low boost tune done = 330rwhp@1 BAR...
    Then - 1989 MX83 - The big scrap heap in the sky...

    well im pretty sure for $150 i had them remove my cracked windscreen, remove a non cracked windscreen from my other cressy and put it in with the seal, dont think the seal cost anything

    (Thats including coming to my house. Also really good work)
