Hi anyone got a cheap fiat strada front windscreen for sale by any chance.

No, but the Fiat part number for a UK screen is 5963401 (B-DK-GB-IRL)

For other countries is 5963400 (A-CH-D-F-I-NL)

The letters e.g. B-DK (Belgium and Denmark) are the country letters where the given screen number is used. The difference I believe is in the tint.

Suggest you google these part numbers and also contact a local independent screen specialist. These small guys often have, and are more willing to track down older screens.

A question if I may. Are you implying that 1) you have comprehensive windscreen insurance cover and 2) Autoglass/other were unable to supply a screen ??????

This info would be quite valuable/useful to us Strada owners.

I don't have insurance on it, it's not road worthy at the moment, I'm in the process of doing it up, I bought it with a cracked windscreen, Thanks for the information.

Did you resolve this? I have just purchased a Strada 130 TC Abarth with a cracked front windscreen, so any advice would be great.

Speaking years ago to a screen specialist (ACE in Southampton, not sure if still trading) then when a given screen is no long available he has use a suitable truck/coach/van screen with a centre profile similar to the required screen and then cut the centre out.

Advantage with the Strada screen it has a fairly flat and regular profile.

Try these guys: http://www.autoglaze.co.uk/ and their specialist service.

Any pics of your new buy ?

Thanks all for the replies, one of your suppliers quoted above or Autoglass seems a good 1st step:

"...Good news is that it’s unlikely to be a bonded screen in that age of car, so easy enough to remove and replace if the rubber seal is in good condition.

The Autoglass web-site has an on-line request a quote section (or a number to phone them) to get a price for a replacement."


I've yet to take delivery, but planning to blog on here as it (probably gradually) gets back on the road!
