A few years ago we had a "bird strike" on the M1 (somewhere north of Watford). The end result was a new near-side front window moulded from the pattern of the old broken one, by a company in Halifax called Eco windows. It wasn't cheap, around £400 as I recall, but as there's just about no such thing as an "off the shelf" window we had to bite the bullet, with good help from our insurance company. This year the centre front window delaminated, the moulding adhesive became (16 years) old and the outer sheet parted company from the inner. I fixed the problem with a tube of "no-more-nails" which has done the job but it isn't very pretty. I had it serviced last week and the guy advised that the off-side window's gone the same way. The good news (which I wish I'd known a few months earlier) is that Eco can re-laminate these windows, as long as the owner hasn't used "no-more-nails" to fix it first! I do hope that my all-too hurried decision may help my fellow vanners to get a much more professional job done. It's rapidly becoming clear that our dear old VIP is reaching that moment when some serious decisions will need to be taken.
