Couple of things - rear screen and black stuff

Hi folks,

Couple of wee jobs I need to sort on my S1 - firstly, the clear engine cover is in need of a bit of renovation. Its gone sort of cloudy and needs a good polish - what can you use for this?

The other thing is the thin black strip that covers the leading edge of the rear clam is missing - anywhere online that sells replacement?

cheers,

I phoned MMC and ordered it through them. Didnt cost much.

If its going cloudy it could be the early signs of delamination…it happened when I bought mine new. Replacement is the only fix. Otherwise try Autoglym quick glass (NOT the clear glass polish or that will cause scratches)

It ain’t missing as it was not an OEM part, just an aftermarket fix.

Its definately missing, cos you can see where its been

Dont know about delamination - it looks the same as when shower cubicles in bathrooms get all limescaley and need a good clean, so I thought it might be possible to get perspex polish or something.

If you do end up needing to replace your rear screen, I’ve got one hanging up in the spare bedroom. Should be able to let it go for a reasonable price.
