Does anyone fit windscreens local to me?
#4
What are your intentions? IE. Is it a brand new screen and trim or are you planning on trying to remove a screen from another car & re using trim etc?

In order to fit you'd want at a minimum:

Cheese wire & 2 handles
Wire feeding spike
T-cut
Aperture primer
Bond
2 sucker handles

It's not too hard to do but can easily go wrong.

The very quick overview is remove mirror, wipers, scuttle etc, remove windscreen trim, feed wire through drivers side top and bottom corner, cheese wire carefully across to passenger side & down the side, then wire back over and cut driver side out. Old screen comes out.

Cut back old glue with a sharp chisel or blade so there's a clean smooth old glue line probably 2mm in height left. Clean with glass cleaner. Prime old glue line.

Clean new glass, t cut the edge where the primer/glue will go, fit new trim to glass, prime glass where the new bond line goes.

Bond new glass or the body, depending on how the glue line is on these (I can't honestly remember, doesn't really matter), lift new screen in, tape or sucker to roof to hold in place... Put car back together & don't drive for a couple of hours.

Easy hey?
