Guest Posted September 3, 2008 I've seen windscreen fitters take 3 out and even with all the right tools its a slow long process, and I am told they often dislike doing it (properly). I've sat with a good book and flask of coffee for 3 hours+ waiting to hear it is out. Removing all the trim without breaking clips etc takes long enough then it's a matter of cutting through the sealant that bonds the screen to the car using a 'cheesewire' type tool. Some fitters cut through it with a blade but that is 100% guaranteed to damage the paintwork under the sealant. Do you intend to put the same screen back in?? Or have you got a new one to fit yourself? I wouldn't...... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CorradoVR6-Turbo 0 Posted September 4, 2008 remove the seal around the screen,this just pulls out and you might be able to repair the rust without screen removal? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
