The rear lower glass panel on my Tasmin FHC has been loose along the lower edge for some time. I have finally got round to removing it and the some of the painted border has peeled off with the mastic. I will strip off the rest but does anybody know of the best paint to use. I have been told that I could thin down some of screen mastic and use this to re-apply the border with the glass masked off, let it go off and then refit the glass??
Regards

The paint is an etch primer to ensure a proper mastic bond so don't use anything else.
A windscreen fitter will have it to hand so your best bet is to pay the man to refit the screen. You can buy it in small single screen fitting kits but it goes off quickly once the can has been opened.
