- Y'all are right...I got the seals in this week and finally got a chance to take a look tonight. Wow...the windscreen is already loaded in the CR-V and is ready to be hauled off to a glass shop, if I

- Is there a resource anywhere, book or website, that shows how to take a Midget windscreen apart, replace all the seals, and put it back together? The workshop manual has a section on "windscreen disa

- I asked this a while back and some (Macy?) mentioned that he had used soap and the windshield started fogging up in just a couple of years. Wasn't sure if the soap had anything to do with it, but he

- Based on a very painful experience trying to get silicone off of a windshield, I'd recommend any water-soluble lubricant (KY Gel has been suggested). The silicone is fine until the first time you tr

- IMHO... A job best left to the "professional". Besides, if they break the glass, they have to replace it. Shouldn't be too expensive. WFO

- BTDT, I had to have two friends that held the screen pieces together while I cursed and tried to get the screws back in the proper places. I highly recommend a 12 pack of beer and a fine meal for you
