Windscreen Removal

[Alloa]

Hi Folks,

Stripping down for a respray and need to take the windscreen out. Is it worth pressing it out like normal or best cutting the seal to avoid damaging the glass ?

Seal 40 quid screen 170 ?

Cheers

Cut the seal.

Seconded, but put a good seal in to replace it. I know a few try to save a tenner by fitting a JK one but they end up regretting it not only cosmetically but due to the struggle getting it to fit. VWEmporium are good for genuine seals and you can fit those single-handed (well I can).

A guy on ebay does new blue top tinted screens for under £80

[Alloa]

£30.25 for a new seal from VWEmporium. Consider it cut.

Just that balance between doing the job properly and spending money needlessly.

Cheers for the advice

Much pleasure to be had cutting the old seal. I love that job.

Least pleasant job, refitting a gearbox.

That's where i must of gone wrong. I left my gearbox on the Velle when i cracked my screen.

I thought it was a Bently given that you drop the box whenever you mess with any of the glass.

[Alloa]

Not bad thanks.

Screen surround has had patches welded in to repair and at the moment flatting back the rest of the van for a respray. About 3/4 of the way there i think.
