Booger. Good Knowledge S. I assume you have a trident on that anorak? (deliberate question to bring up the 400! :)

Though the 4200 is three pieces? One central behind the wiper arms and two ill-fitting side moldings?

It's called the scuttle panel and yes every 3200 I have ever seen has the cracking and lifting corners. Think it's about £90 for a new one.

Hope this helps.

Dem when you install the new one put a rubber gromit or washer inder the scuttle pannel where the screws g,o then gently tighten it down this will avoid the cracking in the new pannel. I was given this tip by of all poeple an autoglass tech after I asked if he had ever worked on a 3200 before. After explaining he had worked on at least 20 3200's he pointed out the cracks in mine and said they are all like that. At that point I left him to get on with repairing a couple of stone chips in my screen before I made an ever bigger **** of my self
