I was going to ask the windscreen guy to put it in but he wanted about 120 and said it wasnt worth it, he told me how to do it and now i carnt really remeber what he said :rolleyes: he said something about putting 'rope' around the rubber seal and using selant and belting it in?

when i was watching them do my windscreen they cleaned up the contact area with a grinder they put shit loads of black glue/sealant shit pushed the screen in held it the for 5 mins and boom it was done took 10 mins but hey this was a mazda bodge job. ;)

Yeah It's pretty easy if you have done it before, you have to wrap rope around the rubber and pull it so it lips over the edgeing when you go around the window. You need someone on the outside to help keep pressure on it..

"pull it so it lips over the edgeing when you go around the window"

 

what do you mean? ;) also how thick does this rope have to be?

You are not using the rope for the titanic, Just stuff about the thickness of standard 12v automotive wire. It has to be strong enough for you to pull on it without it wanting to break. Pretty sure you have to do about 2 laps of the rubber in 2 different grooves it has. You then put the windscreen down on the back and pull the rope from the inside to lip the rubber over the edge and follow it around the window till you pull the rubber in. Then go around and windscreen with a sealer gun and seal it. Then you have to press the rubber down around the whole thing..

rubber seal?thats why mine leaked don't listen to me ;)

so you put the seal around the windscreen

wrap the rope around the seal

put screen on car

pull rope and push screen down

seal the rubber between glass

 

?

 

souldnt some sealent go between the seal the metal?

 

sorry its just really hard to picture

you seal it with windscreen sealer after the window is in properly..
