Hi everyone,

Is there anyone have the instruction guide showing how to fit the front & rear windscreen?

Or any experts can tell me how to do it please?


Thank you so much

I just put a new windscreen in my car, it took a little over half an hour. I did it by putting the rubber seal on the carfully, then I put the bottom of the windscreen into the groove. Then I carefully worked with my hands to pull the rubber around the glass around the whole edge and used various small screwdrivers carefully at the top corners. Then when the glass was fully embedded in the rubber seal I put the locking strip into the seal with a locking strip tool. Worked beautifully. I was a little unsure that it was going to work. Once I had just the seal in there was bunching of the rubber seal at each of the corners of the windscreen, but once the locking strip was in it took care of all that and it looked amazing when I was done.

Goodluck.

Thanks for your reply so promptly, does it require adhesive at all?

I don't think adhesive would hurt. I didn't find any on the car when I took the old screen out. And the new one doesn't leak so I don't think it is needed. But I wouldn't guarantee that yours won't leak.
Just be carful and take your time. I've heard of people breaking their windscreens when attempting it themselves.
