Hello ,
Me again... I am trying to reinstall the chrome trim around the windscreen on my serie 3a. I think a special tool exist to do that easily. Does one of you has a picture or a drawing of this tool so I could build one?
Thank you very much and take care |

Hello everybody,
I don't know if this is of any interest but this is what I did.
first of all I installed the seal on the screen, then I used a 7mm rope that I inserted under the lip where the trim is mounted. I started by the lower trim, used a lot of talc powder and I instelled the trim aat its place then I pulled the rope slowly and the lip has jumped under the trim border. In fact not easy it took to my wife and me 4 hours approx to fit the complete trim on the screen. Corners are difficult but with the rope and a narrow spatula it finally went ok.
Now I will have to intall the screen equipped with the trim on the car. That will be done next week.
Thank you to those who read my original question and a special thank to Pranky who gave me a solution.
cheers to all and take care of your rapiers

Hi Panky,
thank you forthe help. The tool you sent me won't be the one I need I am afraid but I think I have now found a method to put it using a small rope. I will complete it today and will let the members know if I am sucessful.
Thank you for your time and help anyway.
cheers |
