Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted June 12, 2002 Leadership Team Share Posted June 12, 2002 Has anybody removed and refitted the windscreen glass? What's involved? I am planning on having my polished surround powder coated black, but would prefer not to suffer the cost of a new unit. Stu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Arnold Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 Fairly straight forward. One screw each side holds the bottom piece of the surround to the top/side. It then needs a good pull to 'break' the rubber seal holding the bottom onto the glass. Having done this recently I can offer you a top tip - try and avoid placing the old screen on the floor and then stepping on it. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre Gillet Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 Can it be lacquered instead of powder coated? And is it difficult to put it back (assuming the glass is not broken!)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mav Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 Make sure that you don't lose the small pieces of beading from inside the frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted June 15, 2002 Author Leadership Team Share Posted June 15, 2002 Simon, that's a rather unfavourable way to refer to a fully modified big valve head - must be more substantially modified than anyone has realised?

Chris__ Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Holy thread resurrection Batman, etc etc. Given I've just cracked my screen trying to get the glass out... anyone any idea how I can remove the screws that hold the glass in place? I've just tried brute force with WD40 and that's what cracked it :D How much is a new screenglass too.. or do NIG/MSM do screen replacement, the crack did start from a chip in it!

Stationary M25 Traveller Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Heated or plain ? S3 or SV ? Soaking in PlusGas for a few days beforehand often helps with seized screws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
