Its a good way to learn.
,
Put rubber pnto screen
Use strong cord around outer lip of rubber, cross end over
sit screen in place.
Pull cord ito vehicle.
Helps if someone pushes on outside of screen.
BUT Fitting is normally included with most of these types of screen. Last one I got for an GQ was 145 fitted. Shop around.

Yep thats about what I paid for mine fitted. Took about 10mins, I spent more time watching the telecast of Bush during his first media thing after 9/11 then the change over took.
Interesting to watch the guy do it though. Un-hook abit of the screen, put foot on screen from inside and push, have mate catch screen as it falls out. Then fit as per Bazzles reply. No goo or anthing, it's only held in by the rubber on GQ's.

its just as easy to get one of those mobile mobs in to do it for ya, saves time and effort, and you can drink piss and watch some one else work!

I got a mobile guy to do mine, was $155 from memory. He did it while the car was parked at work.

All the places i have rang want about $200-$250 for a MQ front window(without seal) fitted.
I went to look at a near new window today and the guy was slightly pushing on the window from the inside to try and get it out and it cracked top to bottom, and he didn't want much for it either so i guess i will have to go and buy a new one, coz wreckers want about $10 less than what a new one costs.
