Daxed 7 Posted June 9, 2018 The first 20 mins of my planned full weekend on the car in prep for the Retro show next weekend has got off to cracking start... It's painfully obvious I could continue trying to fit the plastic scuttle panel until it gets dark and still be no further ahead. Is there a knack to getting the plastic back under the bottom windscreen seal? Start at one particular end? Start in the middle? Use a cable as in fitting a screen? Pray to any particular deity? Any advice gratefully received as a refit without further damage would be rather nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Telf 224 2 Cars Posted June 9, 2018 I just lift the corner of the seal and wiggle it in. The panel needs to not be screwed down. A bit of soapy water also helps. Use a non metallic implement to assist it under the seal- its easier if the windscreen wiper arms aren't fitted. That's how I do it at least 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daxed 7 Posted June 9, 2018 Cheers Telf, wiper arms off, panel loose, trim tools in hand. Hoping soapy water is the missing ingredient. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
