Seeking recommendations for new windscreen glass for a BN2.

Are they all pretty much the same, or are there some with smaller/less obvious logos/trademarks, maybe some are better at avoiding delamination, etc.?

Thanks.
 
AFAIK, Pilkington is the best. Moss shows 'Pilkington/Triplex' for the 6-cyls, but only 'Triplex' for the 100s (I'd bet it's Pilkington). I got a Pilkington for my BJ8 and it was quality.

Maybe Tom Monaco has one on hand?
 
I bought and fitted an unbranded one from AH Spares about eight years ago. It fitted in the frame almost perfectly except in the bottom LH corner where it only just went into the frame. I used some transparent silicone sealant in that corner. No problems once the frame was refitted, and no leaks since.
 
I ended up buying a TripleX windscreen from Moss. AH Spares' item price was significantly lower, but when the shipping cost was added it was higher, and then there would also be the additional risk of damage due to the much longer distance from the UK.
