#1 2+2 windscreen seals

Post by Knightrider » Sat May 30, 2026 2:31 pm

The (looks original) windscreen on my S1 2+2 has a chip and crack forming right in the driver's eyeline and needs replacing. I am hoping to claim on my windscreen insurance with Adrian Flux - apaprently they use autowindscreens for installs.

I was planning on pre-ordering the seals to prevent any issues on the day. Looking at MR there seem to be two seals - one main one, and another one that is sold by the meter? Do I need both, and if so does anyone know the correct length for the second one?

Try talking (or looking at) COH Baines, they make just about all the rubber seals for the E Type (that the usuals then sell on) and will sell you them by the metre rather than buying a fixed length from the usuals. That way you’ll have spare to save any worries.
