With decent weather on my side, I pushed the car out and finished off the last of the Dynamat in the boot. I also got the front screen down and gave it a good clean up with a razor blade and thinners. It’s covered in scratches that look like they came from the wipers, and is generally pretty tired. With it as clean as I could get it I left it balanced in place and found the trim for the front. This was in a really bad way when I got the car, and I hadn’t helped by bending it when I took it off. I hammered out the worst of the dents, and gave it all a good polish up. It was completely the wrong shape now as it had been squashed too when I stored it. Theres a lesson for me there somewhere. It took a fair bit of bending and re-shaping to get it to fit. <\/p>\n

I lay the screen on my lap and fitted the rubber seal to it then test fitted the trim. With a few more tweaks it fitted perfectly and I put the screen in place ready to have it fitted. I also fitted the rubber for the rear screen and put that in place as well. I havent put the rear trim clips on yet, and I’ve read that it’s better to use more than they supply in a kit so will find the old ones and give them a clean up to fit too. I also put the two rear quarter windows in, so once the screens are in it’s all done. I’d arranged for a car glass fitter to do them both, but he hasnt shown up after I’ve rung him twice. Will find another one who can be bothered to turn up. <\/p>\n
