Nope, laminated. My local glazing company can cut laminated down to size, but can't do toughened.
The whole point of using a proper car screen is to keep the kite mark thingy in the corner that says it complies with the relevant regs. Even though the glass wasn't tested during the SVA test & won't be checked for the kite mark during the MOT, I'd like to have the proper markings -just in case.
Mr Twisted visited Mr Spanners in Lincoln today to buy his trike & picked up a brand new Landrover screen for me while he was there. Mike, (Spanners), has been hanging on to it for me for a year or more. Just hope it's laminated now!

If it's tinted its laminated(MTC3452) . If its clear it's probably laminated(MTC2864) but they did make a few toughened ones( for the stage one 110 I think) that was still listed for the 90 and 110 up to 89.

I stand corrected. I also mistakenly called it a 110 and not 109. My humblest apologies  |

Windscreen duly collected from LondonLand & Mr Twisted's newly acquired trike admired. Very nice mate.
Haven't even taken the screen out of the cardboard box -I'm paranoid about cracking it now so will leave it in the back of my car & take it straight to the glazier tomorrow to be cut down to fit the Pop.
Many thanks to Spanners for donating it & keeping it safe at his place Oop North for well over a year until we could arrange collection & to Twisted for ferrying it back down South for me.

Another late day at work & Loony had some errands to do, so I grabbed the plywood windscreen template from the workshop & took it across town to the local glaziers. On the understanding that it's done at my own risk, they're quite happy to cut glass I supply & it should be done by Friday. Several instructions written on tape stuck to the glass -hopefully that'll ensure the "E" mark stays when the screen's cut down & ends up in the right place, on the passenger side, readable from the outside. Not quite big enough to cut 2 screens out of 1 Landrover one, but not far off.

Yeah, I've been driving round with it in the back of my Fiesta, terrified of hitting potholes & speed bumps. Thought I'd better get it sorted as soon as poss. |
