Anybody tell me what trims should be around the outside of the screen on a wedge. Mine has a plastic bit covering most of the bonding glue but the screen cracked last week, Autoglass looked this morning and said that there shouldn`t be any trim, just a smooth bead of sealer. Screen is on order to be fitted next week, if it should have trims then I need to find it soon.
Cheers Dave

The trim currently on my car (1986 mk2) is a Tee shaped plastic one held in by the screen glue. What Autoglass showed me looks dead posh as it fits around the edge of the glass and then comes up to a flat top to cover the gap and adhesive. The new screen has had to be ordered direct from TVR, their normal supplier cannot get one. All trims and fitting included-not bad for £50 excess on the insurance. The only way to remove the old screen is to cut through the sealant and run a cheese cutter wire round then lift it out
