WINDSCREEN DESCRIPTION
To higher the degree of safety of the car, the windscreen adopted is in stratified glass. This solution prevents the glass from shattering if it is hit by stones or gravel, always maintaining visibility, and above all it offers a high degree of protection if the head bumps against it.
The windscreen, rearscreen and fixed side window of the GTV are glued to the body thereby also contributing to the structural rigidity of the car.
The glass is surrounded by a trim moulding and there is a resting seal on the lower edge of the windscreen surround.
To remove the windscreen it is necessary to remove the trim components which prevent access to the glass and body contact area.
Use an electric cutter fitted with suitable blades for windscreen removal operations.
The correct positioning of the glass is aided by two adjustable feet fastened at the base of the windscreen housing.
