You mean a supplier for just the glass? Pretty much any windscreen supplier will be able to supply you one. Not sure on price, I imagine anywhere from $100 to $250, ring around.

Be carefull with getting the correct windscreen for the surround. A windscreen in the surround with wipers at the top is differant to the one with wipers at the bottom.
Cheers Pricey.

Just leave it.
having bog around the bottom of the windscreen is the new black.
same as not being able to fold it down anymore.
dont be fooled by expensive imitations, bog it up and never look back.

cheers

I've got a windscreen in a panel (rusty) you can have for 30 big ones - if you're keen i'll check it make sure it's still good (chips) as it's buried under the house.... I'm in wollongong btw.... pm if you're interested.

Cheers
