Don't forget to sign up and get your Brickwerks discount before you buy. I think both cost me £180 inc shipping. Fitting took about...

Nice work. Hoping I don't find anything like that lurking beneath the windscreen rust bubbles... Thankfully only on passenger side! How did the seal fit afterwards? I guess that as MM was involved quality seals went on, but any need for windscreen sealer? Or was it all in the grinding kevtherev? I b...
