What colour is the tint at the top of the windscreen

[Jesus-Ninja]

I'm having a new windscreen fitted by autoglass.

First of all, they said "we can't get glass for a Legnum".
"How about a Galant" I asked.
"Oh yes, we can get one for that. Is it tinted?"
"At the top, it is", I replied
"Green or Blue? It'll probably be green"

Now, I checked, and given a choice, I'd say it was more blue than green. What colour is yours?

Turquoise! I would go with blue on mine

I'm sure the UK spec cars all had clear windscreens and only the Jap versions had the tint.

But in answer, I'd say greeny-blue

Had one fitted by Autoglass last year and didn't have a problem with it being a Legnum ,just gave them the chassis number and they contacted Mitsubishi. On the invoice the euro code is 5649AGNGN if that means anything.
This was fitted by Autoglass Birmingham to a facelift Legnum

Had one done 4 years ago by Autoglass, I still have the invoice somewhere, with shipping from Japan, it was £1500!! £60 to me on the excess though.

I think the tint is blue.

not sure what mine actually is, if any, but if i had the choice it'd have to be blue

Cheers, stu. That's really useful. I just rang them and gave them that number, and they'll call back tomorrow.

I reckon if mine is technically green and not blue, I still want blue though.....

It's green stripe, and the original VR-4 ones are in stock in Holland (day-to-day delivery) at around £200 mark

Remember if it is a cold spec it has got a heating element under the wipers parked position. No UK supplied cars had that as far as I know. I had one with the heating element fitted aftger an insurance claim - all done through the cars chassis number.

Mine is green & original mitsi part

keep an eye on them when they do the job as once the fitters cut the dashboard on the mazda we had

[peter thomson]

I can confirm it's green as well though you would think it was blue

Mine is a UK supplied car and has the heated strip - Dont know if its on the original windscreen though....(but cant imagine Auto windscreens retro fitting the wiring )

[Kryton]

Ditto. I think all ralliart cars were cold weather spec

[Nick Mann]

Sorry - could have worded that better, no UK market cars had that, or put another way, no cars leaving the factory that were designed/built/made for the UK had that. I think you are right, all the facelift ralliart new car imports were cold spec.

Autoglass called.

The chap was very nice, and said he could get me blue if I wanted, but that he'd have to order it from Mitsi in Japan and that it would take up to 13 weeks.

MOT is in March, so we'll go green....

[Jesus-Ninja]

I just looked again. Today it looks green....

... now I wish it was blue.

[Jesus-Ninja]

And finally - the new one has been fitted. It's green. The old one was blue. Meh.

[stu]

So was the code any use ?

Not sure, to be honest. They basically said I could have blue if I wanted, as it was an import, but that they had no UK stock and would have to source it from Mitsi in Japan. Given that that was up to 13 weeks and I have an MOT in March, I told them to stick in whatever they had.

That said, I'm looking at the ticket they gave me, and it says 5649AGNGN, which is the code you gave me. I assume that means green then (unless they put the code in that I gave them from you and then used a different part due to availability)
