| Re: Front window rubber Hi Simon,
I have just had my front screwen installed by the fellow that instals the screens in RF turn key cars in Aus. I watched him very closely as he did the instal mainly because I was concerned about him leaning over the car scratches etc. The first step he did was to ceramic paint a border of approx 40mm arround the inside face of the screen. He advised me that some screens supplied have them and other dont. You'll know if you need to do this. He then fitted the outside side rubber to the screen and carefully cut it to siut with the join at the bottom middle of the screen. I didn't notice what glue he used to join the rubber. There is another U saped rubber supplied with the ftting kit which is usually used to cap the edges of the fibreglass of the screen surround on the car. He didnt fit this rubber on my car because he said the fibreglass was to wide in places and advised me that that is what is done at the factory if the fibreglass is to wide. Next step he applied a good sized beading of glue and lifted the screen with the rubber assembled and pressed firmly into place. On inside of the car he placed a length of wood from the hand brake tunnel to the top centre of the spider roof for support whilst the glue dried.
Hope this may assist you with fitting of your screen or at least give you some ideas of what to look out for when the screen is being fitted.
