windscreen replacement yourself?
#1
just wondering if it's possible to remove a windscreen. Obviously without breaking it and refitting it on my own car.
Frostys got a windscreen in a car hes breaking in good nick
Mines got a massive crack through the centre.

So yeah has anyone attempted this and what sealer would you use. (If its possible)

Remove it with an accelerator cable like a saw, you have to drill through the rubber to put the cable through initially, then go to a windscreen specialist to have it fitted?
Welding and fabrication projects undertaken, contact me for more information.

It's easier to fit one than remove one although the proper sealant is really expensive can cost around £100ish for a tube

VS the £70 it'll cost to have it replaced on your insurance?

Ok brilliant. Shud be no problem getting it out then.
But are they going to want to fit a second hand windscreen?

if you already have a screen some single man crews will swap them for £30-40
