I think you will find that a Hilux pickup after 1997 has the same screen, someone on here had one fitted and I'm sure that was the answer.

I had mine replaced by RAC auto windscreens 2 weeks ago, it took them a week to get it after i told them that they would have to get it from toyota i also asked them to get a replacement rubber which they did, this was all done through the insurance company for �50.

Mine took a week and half, autowidowscreen, came out twice with the wrong glass, anyway cos of the incoveniance got them to fit me a tinted window for no extra cost �50 in total.

Good look

I am having the same trouble now. The company tried fitting a Colorada screen, it dont fit... I asked them if they had a 1997 up Hilux screen, they did but it was with a green tint. Wouldn't go with the rest of the bronze tint, so now they have to find/ordfer me one, said it could take upto 4-6 weeks if coming from Japan... Hopefully someone in Europe will have one!!! Top tip, dont leave your windscreen to get fixed 2 days BEFORE your MOT is due...

Very sorry to hear that friend ....I s'pose you "asked" them to go to Toyota dealer for screen....they wont be very happy...they deal usually with only one maybe two specialised suppliers, but IMHO they DONT need to go to Japan for a genuine tinted toyota 3rd gen screen, these are available in uk as I write, but take up to a week to get to highlands of scotland (where i live ) again, push them to Toyota Parts dept...for your sake..

mine was in stock and i could have driven to the place for fitting, but in the end he came to my house the next day and fitted it.
no problems at all
