windscreens and frames (roadsters)

The Windscreen Clinic

​MG Windscreen and Quarter Light Specialists

​MG windscreens are not the easiest things to renovate and reassemble. Original replacement parts are not always available and aftermarket replacement parts may not be entirely correct, making reassembly difficult. The Windscreen Clinic are able to repair existing parts, supply the correct parts, screws, glazing strip etc. and reassemble your windscreen so that it looks like new. Rechroming service available. Worldwide shipping using special packing.
