greetings listers
I am about to attempt to replace the windscreen on my mk2 sprite.
I have a spare screen that came with the car and have purchased a new 
seal. Has anybody who has  done this job before got any hints for me 
as i've been told its a right b*tch of a job.
I have had hassles even getting the screen frame off the car as the 
screws holding it may as well have been made of lead....one snapped 
off just beneath the head, 2 were 'stirred' by the philips head 
screwdriver into useless messes that required hacksawing a slot to 
enable a blade screw driver to be used but then only for 1or 2 turns 
before mashing again, but by that time I could get multi grips on to 
the head. Only one came out nicely and one still remains in position.
(one was missing from the start)
any advice appreciated
thanks 
andy
