if its a stitched one forget about its easier to just get a second-hand roof and replace it, not worth getting new screen and then stitching it, been there before its a really crappy job to do.

It's the cheapest option, if you have a ton of paitients and don't mind your hands bleeding for three days
There is NO nucleus.

mate you can get a new hood fitted for about £600.

Ive seen a couple of back screens that have been attempted on a cabbys..... neither were very good despite their efforts.
