I have started to notice ice on my roadster on a morning which started me thinking, (it does happen!) As my poor little car lives outside in the bitter north-east winters I was wondering if there are any hints/tips/advice on how best to look after the rear plastic window. I don't want it cracking in sub-zero temps!! (11/99)
I think there are only problems when you try and bend/lower a plastic rear screen that is frozen. I've been through 2 winters (coming upto a 3rd) in my 92 Roadster with no problems, but then the rear screen is non original and appears to be much more pliant than the original. (11/99)
I was talking to the bloke I bought my Eunos from about the cracked back window on his wifes Eunos - apparently it broke when the temperature was 2/3 degrees below freezing. All he did was open the roof catches on the windscreen rail and move the hood back a couple of inches. So be careful!! (11/99)
WORD OF WARNING: DON'T knock the plastic rear window from the inside to knock off the ice. I have just cracked mine - a perfect two inch crack. Anyone know of a good way to repair this, or am I looking at the glass replacement? (12/99)
I would guess that a temp fix would be some clear water proof tape (if you can get such a thing, boat repair tape comes to mind. I have some for my kayak but it is not clear :( ). Sounds like a good excuse for another present for your '5 and yourself though sometime with a glass heated screen. (12/99)
