Default Rear Plastic Window Replacement

Is it possible to upgrade my misted up plastic window with the later spec glass one without changing the whole roof?

Or how complicated / expensive is it to just replace the plastic one and are there any companies you can recommend to do this job???

The only gripe with the new toy, other than that its awesome

Nope, it's a whole roof off job, I'm afraid.

StevenM has done it - he'll be able to give you an idea of the cost. I have a feeling he sourced the roof from a breaker and then had his dealer fit it for him.

Hi guys

I've just bought and used the Honda Screen Cleaner on my rear screen. I was only just able to see out of it before, and could barely make out what kind of car was behind me.

After having used the cleaner, I can now see clearly out of the rear. In fact, you'd be hard pressed to see any scratches at all from the rear view mirror! It's fantastic.

This screen cleaner is from Honda Motorcycles though, so the car guys had no idea about it. It cost

I've just posted on the Tech forum on a similar thread - Hindsight from http://www.morethanpolish.com/mtp/ is recommended and is a sight ( excuse teh pun) cheaper than replacing teh screen. Its not cheap,
