What type of tool do I need to refit the metal trim back into the rear window rubber, it was removed to make some repairs but now I need to put it back in and need to find to correct tool to make it easier, I did try the local windscreen fitter but he said he didn't have the correct tool, any links would be appreciated

 

Have you tried a local windscreen company?....they do them all day long.

 

Unfortunately no they don't do them all day long, not many cars have metal trim in the screen anymore and as I have said "I did try the local windscreen fitter but he said he didn't have the correct tool" the car is off the road so I can't just take it to a windscreen company, the company that came out to my wife's car looked at it but with it being an old trim type they don't have the correct tools, hence why I am looking for the correct tool

 

Yes you did, my apologies, I read that and still made that statement for some reason? This isn't a Jag, its and MG and its the front screen, but the tools should be the same... ...he starts putting the chrome on around the 12:50 mark.

Here's a site link about removal from earlier models to review.... https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...dscreen-82909/ ....and one from the XJ100 forum... https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...removal-95502/ ...there's actually a member named glassman in the conversation.

 

Thanks for that, its a bit different from the Jag but the same principles apply, so its just a bent hook, i'll have a go this weekend and see how I get in, didn't even think about that method, Thanks again, i'll let you know if it works
