pkurzok Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 hi everyone trying to fit a new windscreen into the tr6 with a rubber from rimmer bros any tips please as seem not to fit thanks paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bill Bourne Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Hi Paul I've tried all the rubbers from Moss Rimmers etc. The only one that fits (in my experience) is the rubber from TR shop. Even that is a struggle. My method was to put the rubber onto the frame, tape it in with masking tape if necc and leave it for a few days to take shape. Hopefully in a warm environment. Then the usual, use a small diameter rope, insert into the rubber, insert the screen and work from top downwards slowly and carefully. Then just leave it for another few days, before applying the windscreen sealant. Wipe off excess with paraffin. best Bill Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mk2 Chopper Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Cold weather and fitting rubber doesn't always work, dunk the rubber in a bucket of warm to hot water and let it become more pliable before fitting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 I'm sure Stuart was suggesting that the Moss rubber was the one to go for. I did about two years ago and it worked well. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Fremont Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Check the height of the glass: it should not exceed 15-3/8" ( as several I got did ). More than that it will never go in without surgery and subsequent leaks. This dimension or less will allow it to practically fall into place without assistance, needing only a lubricant of your choosing ( I use rubber protectant spray ) and 1/4" nylon braided rope. Cheers, Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PodOne Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 I can hardly wait for this job! Might be easier to bung a fitter a few quid to do it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Problem you will have with that is most of them these days have never fitted one like that as they are used to the modern bonded screens. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stuart. Hi Stuart your probably right. Shame we can't bond ours and use a rubber trim to cover. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
