Windscreen installation

[Absinth]

The frame where the windscreen sits must be cleaned of all sealer residue and the primer applied to the area. Also prime the edge of the windscreen.

place two of the rubber blocks one above the other on each side of the bottom Chanel. These act as spacers and are left in place with the fitted screen... Otherwise on a hot day the screen could slip down causing it to leak at the top.

starting in a bottom corner apply the tape to the frame and expose the wire at each end once you have laid it around the frame.

you will need two 12v batteries joined in parallel to creat 24 volts and attach positive to one end of the wire and negative to the other end.

once the butyl has softened sufficiently lay the primed windscreen onto it and apply even pressure around the edge of the screen ensuring you have full adhesion.

Disconnect the battery and allow butyl to cool.

fit windscreen trim.

This system works very well if installed properly.

bostik kits are gone they were used since hqs still available from old stock or from the us but very sort after by anyone doing a 70s project from hq wb or xr to xf ford sika is the replacement but not the best finish on the inside more so for the early ford buffs because of no inner side pillar moulds so can show oose even with inside foam dams fitted

Thank you for that Sean! If I had to guess how to do it I'd have royally screwed it up as my thoughts were to heat it up with the screen in situ and I would have only probably used 12v to soften the compound. So yeah, I'd have mucked it up.

Appreciate very much that "how-to". Very useful, thank you!

you can heat it up with screen in no problem or even primer the screen and place kit on the screen which gives you a neater seal to edge look
