Need help ASAP Rear Windscreen

[turnbullj]

Hey guys I need help ASAP when i was working on the car tonight i was just putting some masking tape round the chrome bit on the rear windscreen so i could paint it black (im not a fan of chrome) when all of a sudden there was a bang and the rear windscreen had all shattered , I dont understand why this happened because there was no pressure at all on the windscreen it had been closed all day even the windows were open so there was no pressure on it at all.

To top it all of ive got my first autotest on sunday so need a rear windscreen like now, or the whole boot lid as that will probably be easier + quicker to fit, would be nice if I could get one in the same colour grey too but think thats pushing my luck a bit.

Im in the north east of england so Newcastle or Edinburgh area would be very handy indeed

needless to say there was a fair bit of swearing and garage doors taking a good hidein a few minutes ago

thanks James

gossy metals is two mins from my house if you want a hand mate. and if the rear glass is still on!

[turnbullj]

think its cause it was halfords budget masking tape lol

I canny figure out why it happened was random

Have either of you got a number for gossy metals? I take it by the name they are in gosforth?

Theres a few holes in it window but i could just get the new one with the fezza if it'l fit in

[sven360]

GOSFORTH AUTOS
Old Colliery Yard, Waggon Way, Wideopen, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear NE13 6PJ

0191 2362134

Let me know if they've got one. I'll pick it up and fit as well.eh.

[volvosneverdie]

Its actually called Gosforth Autos, but Sven breaks everything down to their base constituants.
METAL!
WOOD!
MEAT!

heres the number man. 0191 2362134

its in Wideopen, just outside gosforth. half a mile north of gosforth park/newcatle racecourse.

If you want a hand, or directions, lerrus know dude.

[turnbullj]

cheers lads, i'll give them a phone tomorrow dinner time

shouldn't be 2 hard to fit a new boot just a few bolts im guessing, dont really want to open mine at the moment lol

if theyve got one i mite just cover mine in duck tape and cardboard + try to swap them over down there probably be easier than putting it in the back of the fezza

if u get stuck pal i can try to arrange to meet u with the one off my breaker i have sitting here i could meet u some where with it save u the long distance journey

That one in gozzy metalz got crushed a while back. Mint 50k miler 1.7 it was. Lord knows how it ended up in there but I took its engine mounts and prop and box and some other stuff.
Turnbull, I have a couple of red tailgates here, how near Nu_Cazzle are you? I'm in Sunderland but don't mind travelling a bit.

im just about 50 miles north of newcastle so sunderland would be ok to get down 2, how much you lookin for them? if i just brought the volvo down could we just swap them over down there cause im pretty sure it wont fit in the fezza, aslong as it dont rain either cause i dont think a duck tape/cardboard rear window would be the best

[340ovlov]

if your still stuck i'll take the one off mine and meet u some where with it don't mind a travel out

[filthyjohn]

My spare one is in faded red, rust free though. I'll be going to VND's tomorrow afternoon so give me a bell if you want to meet up. I'll PM you my number.
