Looking to re-fit the front and rear windscreens soon.
Is there anything that I definately have to do before fitting? eg getting the wiper installed, or can all this be done after?

Hi Stinky,
The wipers can be installed later.Just as long as your headlining is in place and you put the stinless strips around the rubber,I think thats all thats required.

Stinky,

Also consider:

Demister vents
Rear speakers
Rear parcel shelf lining
Rear seat belt mounting points
and, without being smart, painting the dash in a semi gloss or flat paint.

All much easier, prior to fitting the glass, and a gloss dash will really annoy you when it reflects in the windscreen.

Make sure you get an experienced windscreen fitting team, who has done an FE/FC before, as the back window can be difficult. Last time I had one fitted, it was the third guy they sent out who actually managed to complete the installation.

Regards

Hi Stinky,
I agree with previous comments. Just had my screens fitted by an experienced installer. He had previously
told me to buy the screen rubbers from a well known supplier in Melbourne because their product is local and
the best fit.
When fitting the front screen he noticed the markings
showed it was from a Taiwan manufacturer. He didn't
notice if the rear had the same markings.
THE REAR WAS A VERY POOR FIT compared to the GMH original fitment.

Hi
I just had a new windscreen fited between xmas and new year. It was done by a company that specialise in the older type vehicles if you live in sydney  I would reconmend them they are Ralph Moore Autoglass they are  at 6 john street mascot ph(02)96671933. They also will come to your place to do the job they have new screens avaiable. can not purches a new rear not made.
