Hi All,

The bottom seal of my windscreen has decided to come a bit loose, it seems quite dirty around the bottom of the screen and I'm thinking that it's not a case of just sticking it back on... or is it?

questions:
1. has anyone experienced just replacing the seal?
2. does the whole screen have to be removed in order to replace the seal?
3. where would you go to get this done? i.e. TVR specialist or windscreen specialist like Autoglass?

Many thanks in advance.

cheers glassman, I used some silicon sealant as a temp fix, will have a look and see if I can fix it properly.
Thanks,

Silicon is generally a no-no (in the trade) but forgivable (only just!) for a DIYer.

Polyurethane is your friend.

thanks, it was a "quick fix" as the seal was hanging off. I'll get round to doing it properly, I promise biggrin

Humm I guess not tongue out

At work, on the phone and posting aswell...

Basically on my Cerbera the lower seal on the driver side of the windscreen has lifted from the surface somewhat. So was curious to see if anyone had diy fixed it themselves but I wasn't sure if your problem was that similar to mine.

Actually I am looking to have the screen replaced on my Cerb soon but I need the trim sections looked at as well, so pictures of another screen in a different state of repair seemed useful if you had them.
