windscreen replacement

Post by stuffedpike20 »

Someone told me recently that it is easier to replace a windscreen by putting the screen and rubber inside the car, and pulling the string from outside the car.
Any thoughts?
Thanks, John.

In my experience the front goes in easily from the outside with the rubber already on the screen and a length of para cord to pull the lip over the body flange, the rear one goes in from the inside by the same method and is a complete pig to get in.
