Morris Minor Owners Club

just about to put my front screens in (have all the necessary rubbers, glass, bolts etc)
just wondering if someone could confirm which notch on the rubber goes where (i.e. glass, body frame, chrome finisher)
I take it the larger lipped side goes on the inside like the original.

To do it the way morris did,use a dummy centre cut short(Since it goes in from the inside of the car and its too long to go through the frame)assemble all the glass dummy outer centre inner centre with all the seals and then fit it from the inside as one unit ,useing sealant on the frame and string round the rubber. Once fitted then the chrome strip is fitted from the outside.It can't be fitted from the outside since the inner rubber flange is too large to go over the body work.WEll thats the way they say to do it,but do a search there are other, and in my experience,having done it three times, better ways,the best being the straps method as allready posted several times. Good luck with it you'll need it

was actually after a cross section of the rubber fitted to the screen

actually just dug out an old manual and it has several, so i think im sorted

Get the swear box ready! and rather than throw it all over the wall - have a coffee!! then continue.
Good luck

well judging from my rear window experience its a case of
how do i do this
almost getting it
almost getting it
almost getting it
getting very hot and sweaty
almost getting it
hang on what if i try...pop its in
now that wasnt so hard (an afternoon later)

If it won't fit try swearing and kicking the hub caps. I works for me

Yeah - but he wants to fit his windscreen not spend the entire weekend down the A & E Dept! fixing his broken toe Pace yourself and have a bottle of water to hand if it's hot.

well i got it in about a week ago

took roughly 7 hours, 6 of those getting the technique down and then about an hour later i had them strapped in.
They were then left 24 hours, before i put the centre in

i maintained a bit of pressure on the screen as the rubber tended to work against me and rolled her out into the sun for the day.
By the end of the day the rubber had settled and it fits great

well done as previously posted is by far the easiest way to do it

All you have to do now is aim a hosepipe at it and see if it leaks
