Does anyone have any tips for fitting the front screen? I'm going to tackle this at the weekend. 

 

I don't have one of the special tools and feel loathed to spend a tenner on one!

Patience, lots of lube (I use glass cleaner or KY) and one of the better special tools with the roller.

 

Rubber onto car then glass into rubber.  Start at a bottom corner and get the bottom edge in first.  

Don't use screwdrivers to pull the rubber over the glass, use something blunt such as bicycle tyre levers.

 

You really do need the tool - anything else and you risk breaking the screen and marking the paintwork.
