Oh god! nothing!! I went out to the car with the plan to go out and i thought 'mmm, my eyes feel great' got down the road a bit and couldn't see a bloody thing. I just couldn't focus my eyes at all. Pretty scary!

I've away preferred using plastic bike tyre levers instead of a blunt screwdriver to put windscreens in, less chance of it shattering or breaking.

But as you doing the locking strip. push the tool into the rubber and feed the locking strip into it while you push/wiggle the tool round the rubber feeding the strip in as you go. using some soapy water in a spray bottle as lube to help the tool and the strip slide in the rubber easier.

Ben_O I put the link to the video showing how to do it with the tool as Lyndsey has it. I was merely stating it can be done without it. I have done it before with a thick piece of string inserted into the windscreen rubbed before fitting it to the car. If you push the locking strip with the palm of your hand you can get the rubber to lift up and over it by pulling out the string. The same method can be used to help get the rubber seal over the actual windscreen.

Maybe it is a very popular page. Yeah I can understand the need to control access, but surely not during an off peak time.

No that was an incredibly early MK1 Metro Turbo that the seller got cold feet to parting with. :(

Probably best he did as I'd have been over your way stealing it off you haha.

Well I'm still hoping I can wear him down. It was a wreck but possibly the earliest surviving one.
