Les étapes pour cahnger de pare brise d'une voiture sans permis

The steps

  1. Prepare specific gluewith degreasera piano wire or similar, and of course a windscreen adapted to the vehicle's size and model.
  2. Start by cutting out the old windscreen seal with a cutter, then take a piece of piano wire and work it in from the outside in, having first made a small hole in the seal, preferably starting at an angle.
  3. Slide the string through to cut the gasket around the entire windscreen contour, then remove and clean the contour where the windscreen is positioned, leaving 2mm of the old adhesive.
  4. Degrease the surface before applying the new adhesive, by rubbing it with a cloth soaked in degreaser before applying a good coat of adhesive.
  5. Finally, attach a strap to the inside of the windscreen to allow the glue to dry and the windscreen to take its place. It's advisable to leave the strap on for at least 24 hours. This is the most delicate stage, as it involves fitting the new windscreen, and two people are needed to glue all sides of the windscreen simultaneously.
