Which colour tint for UK Rev 1 windscreen?

Post by HighwayStar »

As above.

I need yet another new windscreen for my 1991 UK Rev 1 T- bar (a not often recognised issue with potholes ... the loose debris they leave ready to be flicked up and thrown back by the vehicle in front!).

The question I'm being asked by the insurance company is which colour tint is required. Going to have a look tonight with a bit of white paper but if it's difficult to spot I thought I'd ask the knowledgeable on here first.

Any info and advice gratefully received. Thx.

I think it's blue and bronze for imports, But I'm not 100% sure.

Thanks for responding Jimi, it's appreciated.

I ended up giving my chassis number to my local Toyota parts dept on the pretext of ordering one from them (they can't get them anymore though... discontinued!) and they told me it's listed as a green tint for my particular car.

Putting a bit of clean white writing paper behind it it's definitely blue/green rather than bronze but as to which.....

I've heard blue/green mentioned before, not much help I know. Might worth dropping a post on the mr2oc.co.uk, someone over there may know ?
