Windscreen Scuttle Trim

This job is one that I have been putting off for sometime " Don't ask me why as I don't know lol"
I have had all the kit to do it for over a year!
The first step was to remove the centre mirror, wiper blades and arms then cut out the old PU sealant from under the front of the windscreen.
Next the windscreen itself was removed very carefully making sure it was not knocked or dropped.


With the screen out of the way the old press studs were removed from the scuttle by drilling out the old 1/8th pop rivets. The scuttle was then cleaned.
Next a thin sheet of foam was cut to the shape of the scuttle and glued into place. This is just cut short of the rear edge of the screen.
The top vinyl cut to shape and tucked under the scuttle and the rubber dash trim put back in place. the vinyl is cut over size beyond the front line of the windscreen.
The windscreen refitted back to its pillars. This will hold the vinyl down at the front.
The windscreen masked up ready for new PU adhesive sealant to be applied. This will have to be left to stand for an hour or so to set. It should not shrink and stay permanently flexible.
The centre mirror refitted along with the side screens and wipers.
The finished job.
