Yes, they'll be very brittle by now. Where he is going to get a new one from I have no idea, they're no longer available!

Yeah, good luck to him finding a new one, or for that matter one at all! I told the company that did mine before they started that they were unavailable, break it, they pay for me to find a new one! Luckily I got a top guy who knew the old screen fitting methods and didn't break a thing, and respected the car, despite it being old.

Make sure you hold them to it and that they do come back and fit the correct trim!
