Anyone ever tried to change the front windscreen by their self? I bought one a while ago but never got around to attempting to fit it.


Anyone?


Fit the rubber round the car frame first I used a screwdriver to guide the glass on to the rubber ,Use the fitting tool when trying to get the chrome strip round the screen, keep the rubber lubed as you work it round, it can pop out at the corners if goes well you can complete it in half an hour


Thanks. I've replaced the Chrome strip before so that's not a problem. May give it a go if we ever get some nice weather :(

Taxed it :) My Cooper Si has been off the road for the last 18 months and now the MOT is sorted and the exhuast isn't scrapping along the floor, I've been out blasting about in it :)

First time up to 70!? Think I'll drill my air box tomorrow. The usual 90mph jaunt to Manchester will be deafening!

Making a start getting my Mini ready for Saturdays show.. Just got it back from the paint shop, had to have the flares re-sprayed due to a large number of chips from the garbage they put on the roads here in Winter.
