Excel front R/H Quarterlight

Post by petero »

Hi, I have been trying to find a replacement for my front drivers side quarterlight widow (the one with the hole)
I have had no luck at all and the only option seems to be to make one out of polycarbonate
This has keep my Excel off the road now for 4 months and i would really like to sort it out.
Need to be able to get it to New Zealand as well!

Hi Peter

LB have a choice of secondhand (£60) or new (£90) windows. Posting to NZ is no problem for them. They need your contact details so if you want to proceed. You can email them off their website contact page.

I have found in the past LotusBits are not always too good on answering emails, so if you do not get an email response after a while a phone call helps. Again, in my experience, they are very good at answering phone calls - although I appreciate phoning from NZ is a pain.

The Quarterlight arrived today so thanks for the advice.
The emails didn't work but phone calls got excellent quick service (the delay has been my own fault......time difference, flu)
I noticed my window says it is a "sample" Does this mean there are no more new ones ?
There is a company here that can make them if I lend them my new one , is it worth considering ?
It cost an eye watering 110 pounds in courier fees but that the cost of living so far away from Brexit and Trump.
Thanks again
Peter
