Answer: According to Autoglass it's 25 minutes, that's how much time staff are allowed to remove the old one and fit a new one.

Or if you are National Windscreens about 3 hours mainly because they brought one for an LT so they had to go back and get the right one

He said that some rubbers are so bad (I think he mentioned Leyland Daf) that the screens often break trying to get them one. He also said that two/three year old Discoveries often have more rust in the corners than my van. (which was in pretty good nick just a bit of surface rust).

Chances of breaking the glass putting it back with a JK seal = high + could take an hour
Chances of breaking the glass with a good quality seal = extraordinarily low + takes 20 mins

Done this numerous times.

Just waiting for rain to test the seal

once new seal is on screen then our best is 50 seconds give or take a few ,removal less, the time is taken fitting seal to glass and cleaning crud from aperture 5 mins normal maybe ten, so 20 mins commercially is fine and will include a cuppa
mm

Its gonna take them longer. It wasn't fitted properly and the RH corner is filling with water so they're coming back to do it properly

Here you go, It is this quick http://campervanculture.com/2011/05/fit ... indscreen/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I had a new screen fitted by Autoglass about 7 years ago.
He put the old rubber back - said that is standard practice. He did give me a tube of black sealant, just in case it leaked.
I was disappointed - but it hasn't leaked since.
Job took about 15 minutes.

Rubber fitted on one side but was 4mm higher at the other(leaking side)
