Windscreen advice

Post by ianedwards » Thu Jun 27, 2013 2:08 pm

Afternoon all,

After some advice in the windscreen,

Is it best to put it in before putting the dash in or can I put the dash in and the windscreen later.

Also is it best to use some sort of sealer when putting he windscreen back in.

Cheers

Ian

Id put screen in last so there isnt a risk of smashing it! ;) also the three top screws can be a pain in the arse to get out/ in as you have to use a stubby screw driver as there is limited acess coz od the screen.

I used no sealer and got a perfect seal but my paint was still a little tacky so it stuck like glue.

I would probably just fit it and if it needs it put a little polyurethane sealant under the outer seal after. I would have thought putting sealant round before inserting it could get rather messy!

No sealant required. Fit it last. Be gentle.
