Well, over a year later i got round to replacing my windscreen! What a b!tch!

I couldn't get it out without kicking the sh!te out of it, but fortunately i didn't need it as the reason for removal was a big crack. Getting it back in was fun too. I was trying it without any string and it wasn't happening, so a quick trip to asda and one washing line later and it was back in within 5 minutes  :cool:

I now have a nice green tint with blue top strip screen.  :cool: Just got to put the rest of the green windows in now!

There is no need to tint your windscreen! just doing your side windows is enough, that will greatly reduce the amount of light in the car, giving the appearance that the screen is already tinted.. not a good time to do it anyway..it was anounced on the news last week that police were clamping down on tinted windows... best of luck

Hmm, starting to have second thoughts about this now. So to remove the screen without cutting the rubber i just push out at the top?

The reason i'm asking is that my plan is to tinti my windows. I will be using all of the original windows so its not like i can just kick out the windscreen. Well i can, but i don't want to!
