Butchered windscreen scuttle

Unread post by Chevron Terry »

Hi ,
The scuttle in my 1997 Xantia has been butchered by it"s former keeper .
A new Scuttle from my dealer is £85.59 + vat .
I have sourced from my local scrapyard an series 2 scuttle .
Will this fit ?
is it possible to take the series 2 scuttle out without breaking it ?
Any thoughts greatly appreciated .
As I am currently driving around in a fish tank ! care of this weeks rainfall .
Many thanks
Terry .

All scuttles ARE the same, even S2 scuttles have the orface for the Alarm Key thats on S1 cars!

Removal same as S1 cars, if its original Gooo holding it on, it WILL be a job without a bit of light heat, OR an after noon with the sharpest knife you can find!

Ive a couple here (I think that arent broken) infact, Ive got a S2 scuttle in the shed..

Not entirely true as S2 ones have a cut-out on the O/S for the scuttle bracing bar.

My '97 TD had that same bracing bar and it was an S1.

I think that all Xantia's had the bar but on S2's the scuttle trim had a cut out, presumably to make the trim a better fit.

My '94 Xantia had no bracing bar or cutout, it was just one of the many differences between the two "identical" cars I had :)
