MK1 Front and Rear Windscreen Removal

It's reasonably straightforward.....but best advice is to wait for a hot day and park the car in the sun for a couple of hours before doing the job.....

First take out the metallic looking filler strip, it will be brittle and hardened with age, maybe even black.

So you'll need a new one of those.

Then standing near the a pillar with door open, start pressing the glass out from the inside with the palm of your hand along the top, starting at one corner and working your way along. The glass and rubber come out together. The idea is to not put too much pressure at any one spot, as you don't want to overly flex the glass. If you need to gently lever the rubber way from the body flange, that's okay, as long as you're careful not to damage your headlining. Once the top edge has been pushed out, the whole screen should come out fairly easily.

Fitting is the reverse procedure
