Windscreens/windshields

PostPost by: Mohe » Wed Aug 25, 2004 7:47 pm

Does any one know if the baby Elan windscreen/windshield changes over the series 1- 4 and from FHC to DHC.

I need one for my series 3 FHC and have the opportunity to buy a windscreen of uncertain age.

It would be good news if they are all the same.

Thank you in advance for your advice

Mohe,
I'm sure that S1/2's are the same and S3/4's (fhc & dhc) are the same, so what I am saying is there is only two sizes, S1/2 & S3/4 there are ofcourse tinted and clear.

Greetings, the S1 and S2's have "rounded" bottom corners at the rear. The S3 and S4's have sharper albeit obtuse bottom corners. There are "pointed" corner edges on the latter.
The two types are not interchangeable, if the one available to you has rounded bottom corners with no edge, it won't fit your car. You can see the difference by looking at the rubber seals in photographs in books. Good Luck, Eric
