Just had a look at the one they fitted on ours and it's branded 'solarshield'.... Still looks the same tho' and is fitted well I hope

Not wishing ti pi$$ on anyone's chips - but my previous screen was branded "Solarshield" and half the heating elements didn't work
Maybe mine was just a duff one but it's worth checking. Clive

My understanding is that the LR branded OEM ones are supplied by Pilkington. Clive

Yup, they said to me it was OEM, but solarshield has been fitted. We'll probably find that solarshield supplied about 6 screens to them in 2004 .....

Does anyone know where the rain sensor is on the windscreen, is it built into the inside mirror.
