Anyone have any tips for the removal and replacing of a windscreen :?:

Its for my 40 series.

I have a complete windscreen surround with the new glass. So I have to remove this one first (hopefully in 1 piece :lol:

). Then put it into my rig.

Any tips or hints ? Anything I should avoid ? Or am I better to go to Windscreens O'Brien or the like ?

Thanks

Dan

was going to suggest using your foot but if you want it in one piece

You want the glass intact - use a stanley knife and cut away the rubber on the old rig.. and once all cut out.. slowly give it a push to see which end gives way.. then work from there.

then give windscreens obrien a call and get em to put the glass on the new rig. with new rubbers and seals??

Just an idea..

Pretty much what i did to my car..

If careful and done properly, placing the new one over the old one can look cool and just use masking tape to hold the sides down....

dan give alan lock widscreens a call not sure of the number. he lives near woronora and is very cheap and really awesome at his job, i had a screen done by o'briens once and the frist time it rained it was like a waterfall in the cab of my lux :shock:

they then came out a squirted black shit all around the seals :shock:

he did the screen in my 80, supply and fit was $190 :shock:

very cheap for an 80 in my eyes....
