Can anyone advise me on the cost of a new windscreen for 944S2??
Also where to purchase.
I guess mine is the original and is difficult to see through into the setting sun or oncoming headlights due to all the scratches and tiny chips.
Thanks, Steve.

Steve, the screens are v expensive - the last actual quote I read on PCGB forum was something like £700.

If your screen has chipped then I think you should be considering a small excess under your insurance cover and letting them replace it?

Ring round a few local fitters (Rather than the big national outfits.) I needed a screen for a Rover 800 Coupe a few months ago. Autoglass etc said "rare and thus £400". I paid a local fitter £139, supply and fit ! :)
