Dave Ashworth Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 Dear All, Is there any perceived wisdom I need to know about before fitting my windscreen fitting kit? These are the plasticy trim bits that go on the inside of the screen. For example, do I fit this kit before the screen is fitted, or afterwards? Thank you for any nuggets that may help me avoid painful errors. Thanks everyone. Dave. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 The moulded ones are very nice, fit them before the windscreen as they fit over the lip, just use plenty of lube when fitting the screen rubber so it slips over them Ok and use a good glue too.

250 Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 Dave, Definately as Stuart says fit first I used the pre moulded(TR Shop) they don't look good flimsy when on their own, ensure glue is good and they fitted well. Mark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

harrytr5 Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 Hi Dave, I used masking tape on the front which covered up and protected the paint work before I used hi heat resistant spray trim adhesive. All good fun! Regards Harry Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PodOne Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 Anyone used a roll of appropriate black stretch vinyl rather than the plastic offerings which seem quite fragile? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Reilly Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 Forgive me? what are these things (trim kits) you are writing about? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richard71 Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 I have the MOSS kit, purchased 10yrs ago and never fitted. How does it compare with other offerings? Richard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
michaeldavis39 Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 John Reilly they are talking about the tiny strip of trim that runs around the inside edges of the windscreen frame Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They are supposed to be like that, thats exactly as original and as theyre vacuum formed they fit well and once the screen is fitted they just look "Right" its difficult to make vinyl look as good due to its thickness and it makes it more difficult to fit the screen rubber.
