dc2r front windscreen

[jooboo]

my front windscreen has been cracked...n ive heard that it is lightweight glass? just wanted 2 know is this true...n has ne1 had 2 replace thjeres

[doriemon]

thats what i heard too
but dunno where to find these, most shop would just put the normal dc2 ones on i think

[wynode]

I wonder what the weight difference is!?

[fly_vti]

i dont think its true, and if it is who cares! i bet the difference isnt too big, but if it is lighter, i think it would be easier to crack then the normal ones as its thinner ? who can verify.

[VTECACCORD]

It IS true, AUDM DC2R has thinner glass than normal, can only get it from the dealer

[Civic Si]

DC2R windscreens are thinner, hence lighter...:)

I asked if I could get my chips repaired and da guy sed that wasn't deeper enough to repair, but I bet he had no idea that it was a thinner winscreen..

I got qouted around da $600 mark

[jooboo]

yeh i called honda...it is lightweight glass...n honda quoted me $711...i then called windscreens obrien..they said they will repair it for 275 n the glass is off a GSI integra...i then called back honda n they said that the glass on a gsi is the same as a itr...n they also said that they usually dont do glass cuz they cant beet windscreen obriens prices...so they send all the ppl to windscreen obirens

[wynode]

call em back and find out the weight differnce :P

Also u sure the Gsi has the same windscreen as the ITR ?

[VTECACCORD]

Honda dealer giving out false information - NEVER (sarcasm)

I doubt the guy behind the counter even knows the diff, when i went to by parts at horny Honda, the parts guy had no idea what the block code for a type R was. that should be a given for any part guy

[Bludger]

i'm curious about this too, can anyone plz shed some light on it???

[flyryd]

type r windscreen is thinner than normal DC2, it says on the honda broshures etc

[Bludger]

yes, but when it comes to replacement, where can we find the thin windshield and how do we know we're not getting jibbed with a normal screen?

[ctr kid]

if u want thin screens just get that non gen shit fitted for 150 bucks ...its so thin that ive seen them crack when theyre sticking them in!!!..lol...non gen shit!!!

kinda related,

maybe when you get it replaced, get some of that filmy kinda thing that the renaults have, that makes it look a different colour, like blue, or orange or red. that looks awesome

[fasinn8]

which windscreen did you end up getting

[jooboo]

havnt actually replaced it yet...bookd it in for monday...with windscreen obrien...275...or 700...even if it is lighter

[BADHBT]

type r is lighter - yes
is it laminated - think so
why - safety reasons so it wont shatter
ie. those european cars and others
