Having my windscreen replaced at the weekend - well, having it taken out and replaced after paintwork has been done - is this something that should be changed then guys, and which part number are we looking at in the image?

thanks

Now we are talking about something I know lots about ...21years fitting glass gents ...that doesn't automatically mean I'm any good though...
I also cut most plate glass & float glass & sometimes cut curved front Laminated windscreens down for custom cars etc !!!
Right here is what I always advise on anything with a clipped outer finishing trim !
You should always prime up the edge of all laminated W/Screens full stop 99% don't & that's why water gets between the three layers & white marks show through the glass normally in the bottom corners where water collects ...The middle layer called PVB doesn't like water !!!
Anyway to answer your question once the edge is primed with liquid Urethane on the glass ...let dry & use thin narrow double sided tape to stick to the Edge of the top of glass ...push Top plastic u shaped edge rail onto Top edge of the glass give gentle push to contact both
Push outside goalpost trim onto the top trim & make sure it's 100% equal left to right ...then tape uprights into middle of the W/S
Glue body up with higher than normal v bead ...fit glass & push upright trims onto sides ....(never) ever use silicon on anything anywhere as it rusts anything if paints not 100% ...fit scuttle panel over bottom of edges both sides ..
You can put a couple dabs of Urethane on each bottom corners but prime up body & trim before to get good key !!!

Problem is most Glaziers are inexperienced or just can't be bothered & National Windscreens / Mobile Windscreens don't have a great name in our world ...but they are bloody cheap ...possible the cheapest ...PS they do have good guys working for them ..but they are normally guys trained else where AutoWindscreen or Autoglass or AA glass or Silvershield now gone

Also sorry I don't do Jobs on the side but will always help & advise anyone
Also that top clip over trim is a sod to get back on if the Glass has been pushed tight to the body & built in height body spacers ....DONT use Silicon its oil based !!!!
It's every W/s glaziers nightmare

Paul you can look a right burk on here if you buy ...As I did ...bodies & ordered everything wrong ...
If you say the completely wrong thing you will be swiftly corrected & pointed out to you !!!

So this is something I'm bloody good at
Or I think I am

if you buy number 1, you get 2 and 4 in the package
