But hey, a good chance to try that work myself, esp. as I had a used one laying around. Btw. the used is with sunstripe.
Always better to do that work with help.
If I had to do this work again, I think I will buy a compressed air powered cartridge gun.
As the dealership wanted about 35€ for that plasticstrip on top of the screen, I decided to try to get this thing out first and use it again.
Park on an even surface
unscrew that five screws (Torx)
pull both a-pillar-covers
remove mirror (Torx)
wiperamrs
and get this
just pull both seals
and that one
you can take the cover out now (two pieces)
and remove the brackets
to get to the old glue
time to "install" the lifting tools
and remove the plasticthing
it seems they had it over the whole length sometimes
sometimes not - anyway
done
cheap tool, but worked great
protect everything you like to keep in good condition
install the wire
and pierce the other throuh the glue
and start (pay attention to the mirrors wire)
no bad idea to have a cover for unexpected rain
remove the old glue, but not totally
use primer for both surfaces - screen and car
the windshield has a centermark on top which will be hidden by the stripe, so get you a tag before
and make one on the roof
Put the screen right into place and look for perfect position and fix it with tape
Don´t move the car until the glue tied up finally.
