Windscreen Replacement

[andekm]

I have recently purchased a 1997 LMC Liberty, Fiat Ducato 2.5 tdi. The vehicle has a cracked windscreen. I hired a company to replace the screen but the camper conversion covers some of the rubbers at the top of the windscreen. How do I gain access to the rubbers surrounding the windscreen so they can replace it?

Bump!
I’d have thought a professional windscreen fitter would do that with ease

It looks like its pop-rivoted on?

You’ll probably have to drill out the pop rivets and put some new ones of self tappers afterwards. There may be a load of sealant underneath which will need cutting out.

If it was me, I would clear this out myself rather than leave it to a ‘professional’ windscreen fitter. I have seen the aftermath of so many ’professionals’ to realise they are few and far between.
