I'm having my windscreen taken out tonight on my 36 coupe, this is due to rust around the screen but also because the plastic trim around the screen is split.... I'm going to replace these bits when i do it... question is, i'm looking on real oem at the moment and trying to figure out EXACTLY what i need...

I know i'll be needing #6 but will i also need #2?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Chris

You only need the one part rubber trim that is a pinch fit between the screen and the piller, cost is £16 from my windscreen wholesaler. Other than that you are home and away, use a fein cutter or razor wire to saw it out. A bit of patience and your home and away. Any probs? I'm only 15 miles away, can give you a hand, it's my profession!

thanks for the offer mike, i managed to break the screen *doh* but got my hands on a brand spanking new on for £40 and the windscreen seal for £20.

got to finish my linishing and epoxy resin the window surround.... and painting before putting it back in :)
