Windshield. Need Help.
I have ae85 trueno 1985.
Windshield cracked and unusable.
so I need to replace it.
Here on the forum I read that the windshield manufacturer Pilkington (number 8249abl) can be placed.
But I have some doubts about this.
Is there someone who put windshield Pilkington (number 8249abl) and can definitely say that the glass fits 100%.??
I would be very thankful for!

Because I have information that 8249abl height is lower than the original.
So if you measure the original glass height 760mm and 735mm Pilkington 8249abl has.
To measure as shown in the picture below.
we are interested in CENT

Windshield. Need Help.
I had a pilkington windscreen, but I cant confirm the part nr because I broke it 4 years ago. Robokill used this exact part nr with success I believe, and it is also listed for AE86 in the Pilkington catalog.

There where 2 different height windscreens used on ae86's, most use the 736mm one, I cant find info on the other type easily.
Anyone have a link to discussions about this?

The Daewoo nexia window that is also known to fit is slightly wider and shorter in height than the original screen. If you look at the catalog price it is more expensive at 200 euro's than the ae86 item which costs 171 (in a 2011 catalog).

FABRICA MI DIEM, PVNC!

Apparently there are two different height AE85/86 screens, and two
different bottom trim panels (scuttle trims?). Either screen will fit, but
you would need to get the matching scuttle trim if you want it to look
neat and tidy.

First, thank you all for the answers.

If I understand correctly, I can use a glass at 2.5 cm smaller in height but for this

On glass of Nexia I know but do not know whether or not and then what to do with the moldings around the helmet to fit them all, especially at the top.

PS Sorry for my bad English.

Hi Guys,

On a Russian forum I've seen AE with windshield which was replaced somewhere in the EU, and based on words of the owner it's not origynal toyota's glass but fit's better than daewoo's Nexia, it have some marks but search gives nothing:

südglas-kristal 43R-001071

Südglas in Bietigheim, Germany. I believe this company merged with
another in 1989 and essentially disappeared.
