Changing the windscreen

The steps

1. Prepare specific glue, degreaser, piano wire or similar, and of course a windscreen adapted to the vehicle's size and model.
2. Start by cutting out the joint of the old windscreen with a cutter, then take a piano wire and work it in from the outside in, having first made a small hole in the joint, preferably starting at an angle.
3. Slide the rope to cut the joint around the entire contour of the windscreen, then remove it, cleaning the contour where the windscreen is positioned, but leaving 2mm of the old adhesive.
4. Degrease the surface before applying the new glue, rubbing with a cloth soaked in degreaser before applying a good coat of glue.
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 it's best to use two people to glue all sides of the windscreen simultaneously.
