I had a new screen for my Series 3 FHC last year, it came from here,

http://www.pughs.co.uk/. not cheap though, over ?500. Not sure of the make.

It was fitted without issue's by Paul Brown who restored my car

Thanks for that info, I just called Pughs and they supply Triplex ones as well, indeed, Autoglass bought the one they tried to fit today off Pughs I discovered! They suspect a bad batch I'm now being told, who knows. I spoke to David Manners and they have 6 suppliers and dont know who makes the ones they supply !

I will have to keep trying. Whats the record number of attempts to get one to fit?

Try CMC - they had a special batch made for their own use.

Euroglass are a supplier and the screen I just had fitted was a Triplex one, however the name Pilkington is NOT shown on it. See other thread in technical section.

This is the badge of the one that fitted well.
