I went for a non genuine and the quality is superb, it was ridiculously cheap only £7.49 on eBay from Recoveryuk4x4, so you’d think it wouldn’t be very good but it’s been absolutely perfect, and all 4 holes in perfect alignment, but in reality it’s such an easy swap if anything happens so I’m not worried, but to be honest I’m very happy with it
I think the genuine would (likely) be a better composition (ie more rubber than plastic) saying that I bought an ALLMAKES https://allmakes4x4.com/glazing-rubber-windscreen-glass-df7-lr056278.html
a few years ago and it was very good, easy to fit and still looks like new.

Yeah and I’m quite worried about that. I want to do it myself but have never tried before. Seen lots of broken screens YouTube

No sealant and aftermarket seal.
Have owned the 90 for 23-years and when bought the original (genuine) seal was perished around the edges. Have had several screens / seals over the years (removing screen to have frame painted, a couple of major chips but mainly due to heating elements breaking and insurance have been happy to replace them) and always supplied a BP (or other aftermarket) seal. No-one has ever had any trouble fitting and I I have never had a leak.
Current seal has been fitted for about 10-years and is in perfect nick. Bought a replacement seal a couple of years ago as I had another chip and wanted to be prepared in case a new screen was required but it was repaired ok.

Allegedly. I’m sure that a lot of stuff marked OEM is just as crap as the rest too.OEM parts are made by the same company that make the genuine parts.. without the badge on
As opposed to aftermarket who see a bad photo in a brochure and try to copy it
