N15MNO-Daron Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 My JDM windscreen was cracked after some pincher threw a brick on it.. Autoglass have spent over a month trying to track down a windscreen black trim kit. They tried all their sources inclu local nissan dealers without success. Apparently JDM windscreens are different to UK models.. and v difficult to source repalcements NOT GOOD!!! Quote
live2themaxuk Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Im surprised, you should defo be able to get one through a dealer. . . . i wouldn t rely just on autoglasses words to be honest. . . . I hear a while back that JDM ones can come with a heater element in them while UK ones dont, but i have never hear of a problem getting them. JAmie Quote
jim Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Have a good search on here - there was a thread on this last year some time I'm sure. I think there is a problem about getting a replacement with the windscreen heater but you should be able to get an ordinary screen OK. Quote
bigphil Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 We have used UK screens in JDM ars, only difference was the shaded bit around the rear view mirror which the JDM doesn't have, not come across one with heated screen mind. Quote
live2themaxuk Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 guy on here called Rickya used to have a JDM with one. Hes sold it now mind. May not have been the heated bit, but it did have some weird element looking thing along the top or was it the bottom, that none of the others at a meet we were at had. Jamie Quote
N15MNO-Daron Posted June 6, 2008 Author Posted June 6, 2008 Autoglass seem to think its a TV arial or some heating element which is imbedded in the glass.. but theyre not sure and they dont want to replace it with a normal screen incase there are loose wires or something in the car wont function correctly.. hmmm Quote
N15MNO-Daron Posted June 6, 2008 Author Posted June 6, 2008 the only windscreen trim they can find is in "chrome finish" which i think will look gross!! Im got the appointment tmr 1pm.. so il have a look.. if its awful il delay the fitting and wait longer to see if i can just use a reg UK sceen. Quote
live2themaxuk Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 i honestly yhink that you can, like i say, do a search o here for windscreen under the name 'Ricka' and ull see that he also had this. I canno think what it is for though. its not GPS, ans the antenna is behind the seat, its not for the phone surely, as UK cars have that as an option but done have it. Do you have any additional buttons that you 'dont know what they do#, near your ESP button? J Quote
N15MNO-Daron Posted June 8, 2008 Author Posted June 8, 2008 Finally arrived after 4 weeks!!!! Also the Autoglass guys messed it up..on their systems they are stated as Chrome replacement trims but in actual fact they came in normal black colour. Was fitted yesterday..and definately not heating element in the glass..its an antenna for something but still dont know what. They plugged it in for me anyway just incase. Sorry No additional buttons on sterring wheel or near ESP button so maybe its just for the non functional jap sat nav? Quote
live2themaxuk Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 maybe for the 'WINGS' radio system think they have over there Cheers Digsy, yeah Rickya glad sorted now Have any ideas on part number for future reference? Quote
