front screen fitting????

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Wed Dec 05, 07 10:04 pm

John tells me that ivor broke his front screen trying to refit it, so it it really a pig of a job to do or was Ivor just unlucky?

has anyone else atempted a B Bod screen fit?

No, it's not that difficult Craig, I was just being a nob.

I thought I'll just ease the last bit it in with a screwdriver and CRACK! I was also struggling to do that single handed.

Roger came around the following week, when I'd found another screen, he brought with him some silicone grease and as the actress said to the bishop, it slipped in a treat!

....and don't forget the lubricant. Forcing it in dry might result in tears.

That normally earns me a smack in the mush

Could be worth a look. Has anybody shipped a screen from the states and was it still in one piece when it arrived ??

Yes, I shipped over four Challenger screens last year for me and some other members, they arrived fine (and were insured anyway). Actually I dealt with PS Autoglass, who are running that auction, very helpful and I would recommend them, Eric IIRC. I used their website.

It's the shipping that will hurt you, which is why I went for several screens. IIRC it ended up costing about £125 each all inclusive!! (shipping, duty, blah blah)
