I can only wish that fitting a windscreen to my Teilhol would be so straight forward. :-[

Anyone know if a Reliant's windscreen was totally flat?
I just rewatched Jeremy Clarkson's escapades intentionally flipping them and noticed no glass breakages, some vibration of the screen, and indeed it popping out of its frame without shattering- so must be Perspex.
If indeed there is any amount of compound curvature to be found on a stock Reliant's windscreen, this info would be useful to my quest for a Citidine windscreen replacement.

Steve , the Reliant Robin screen is slightly curve , as is the Bond Mk G , differant size , the 700 Regal rear screen is flat , both van and car , some 21E's or whatever had rear side windows - to make an estate version again flat windows . early Bonds had PX windscreen -prone to scratching with age/wiper blade .

Does Plasman or anyone else for that matter know if the windscreen in the Reliant that Top Gear tormentously toppled was a compound curve vs. a single plane curved piece?

That Reliant Robin had a roll cage?

Obviously that was set up, plus there was quite a heavy weight in the drivers seat, which aided that set up of it rolling.

Land Rover have flat screens. From my SVA days with all the kite marks etc, kit car owners were getting a screen made from a larger screen so that the marks were in the glass. Mine is in marked but was offered a certificate, but didn't need it as fitted after SVA.

It was rather amazingly resilient considering the intentions of the driver.
Double or single curvature required of the plexi windscreen that was used in the filming remains the question.
