Can you not get it replaced on insurance? I had mine replaced for the excess of £75 with a new Pilkington Screen with a matching tint. That way the agravation of fitting and bonding is taken care of for you too.

It's amazing how clear and transparent a new screen is, improving the driving experience. I would think all original BX screens have now suffered degradation due to UV damage to the polythene interliner between the glass layers, so not worth re-deploying.

In the UK, front screens in Clear and Green tint are still widely available, The Brown tint (used on red cars?) is very hard if not impossible to get. However you might have some luck in France. AFAIK, the original glass was either St Gobain or Securit?

Rear screens are definitely harder, but still available in France.
