The time has come to fit the windscreen on my GTR and I don't fancy trying it on my owm.

I seem to remember in some old threads that a few of you guys used a local windscreen fitter to help out or do the job for you.

Can anyone close to Dorset recommend someone ?
Ideally someone who has done an Ult before

Thanks

Having done one before is not too important.
Knowing just how much sealant is required and having the confidence to just get on and do it is what your looking for.
Ring fitting company and ask for their best fitter.

My guy wanted me to help as reaching right over is a problem. He also did two or three dry runs to ensure we both lowered at the same rate. I don't think he was testing the fit more like testing me.

Thanks Steve D

IIRC you are fairly close to my part of the world, would you mind telling me who you used ?

Maybe I can get the same guy to fit mine.

I've had a look but have no record.
Can't even remember the company. Cash in hand if I recall.

I used Autoglass, I popped into my local dept with my laptop/build cd to show them what's invloved.

They turned up with 2 fitters and charged me £88.00 inc vat.

They'll even fit the sidescreens as long as they are prepared up front and ready to fit.

PS.RAC Windscreens would also do it but slightly dearer here and could only do it a week later.
