OK gang, so I'm soon going to take off my bonnet and pull the engine, what a perfect opportunity to replace the windscreen+ rubbers while able to stand in the engine bay!
There is some good basic stuff in the FSM

I'm sure many have done this already, so I'm keen to hear what experienced advice / tips you have re.:
- Removal / any tooling (I already have the rope and suction thingies but what else!?) How to keep the chrome trim alive.
- anything else you would do while screen is out (dealing with rust is the obvious one I guess, but what else?)
- Refitting tips: any tricks beyond fitting the chrome first? What adhesives you would recommend etc.
I plan to mask all the bodywork with old towels and masking tape to protect it from my stupidity / impatience.
Or is there a good thread on this already?
Looking forward to installing new rubbers and not having a puddle in the footwell each time I wash the car!
