Posted by Quite a challenging task, probably the scariest in the whole project.
First is to trim, trim, trim the windshield to size. The factory recommends an angle grinder. I used a Dremmel with a 38 mm grinder. Took most of a day and a lot of patience to trim the windscreen to fit exactly. There’s no going back if you trim too much! It’s a very dusty job, outside with a mask.
To get the lines to trim and for the bonding itself, use good quality vinyl line tape to mask, mask, mask and get clean lines. The Sikaflex gets everywhere. Everyone says that, but until you use it you don’t really believe them.
Lots of gloves lots of masking tape. Some help.
There are several bottles to use. Cleaner (called activator the big bottle) Primer for GRP, Primer for the window itself.
Take your time (it took us about 4 hours).
Get some help (Thanks to Graham for all the tips).
Get the Sikaflex evenly squished by using spacers. (It’s Important to read the Sikaflex application notes (mostly for marine applications) in addition to the Sling instructions.
I am very happy with the end result.
