Default Re: Windscreen replacement

I watched them replace mine while in my driveway. I told the guy at the shop I wanted his best man to do the job - they sent two!

Replacing the windshield was no different than most cars. The trickiest part is getting the trim off without damage. You must know where the clips/fasteners are so you can pry them loose.

As I learned from the techs, be sure to protect the molding where it meets the fender. When you pry up, it will contact the fender and quite firm when it pops loose. Use a few layers of masking tape between the two surfaces to prevent scratching. I put the tape on the fender lip, but on the molding will work as well.

Good luck. James

PS Be sure to tell them to put your wiper caps back on with a dab of silicone or adhesive so you won't loose them.
