A local glazier did my screen for the cup model in laminated glass. Bear in mind that the finished article will be slightly larger than 6mm due to the laminate. Some glaziers are reticent to polish the edges as the laminate melts and clogs up the machine.
The original glass was from a domestic glazier and came with an etched logo bigger than a 2 pound coin. Added to that, the edges were not polished which made it impossible to get into the frame. The rubber kept snagging.
In the end, our local man did some research and found out the correct British standard to be applied for a car and put this in a discrete place at the edge of the glass so it would be under the frame. He polished and bevelled all the edges which made it easy to insert into the frame. I used some tyre bead paste which is super slippy during assembly.
The cup model screen is 2 parts and I got change from £100 so was pleased enough. Happy to give the name of the original supplier and the final supplier by PM if anyone wants.
Kindest regards

The side screens in my RK kept coming out of the channel (for the wind up windows) so I used some silicone sealant. After a while this appears to have crept into or reacted with the laminate and shows up as small bubbles.
