Is there a tool thats available for fitting the metal strip into the front and rear screen rubbers? I fitted a polycarb rear screen today using a wide edged flat blade screw driver and what a ball ache that was! Do not fancy a repeat with fitting the front screen so would appreciate suggestions or pointing in the direction of a proper tool?

TIA.

Yes. About £10 -£20 on ebay. Get one with a roller - much better than the ones without.

That's an odd looking one, but that's what it's for.

If theres one with the roller a little closer to the separator that would be better.
