Washed the ZT this morning, and about to take the dog for a walk, after which I'll phone 4a Windscreens, and have the rear window cut out and refitted properly

Moral of the story, insist that the window fitter you use is able to follow simple instructions such as sitting the glass on the spacer clips at the bottom before taping over the edges, that was money well spent

Chucked a bucket of water over both too

Now beer time

Hi Scott.
Glad I could help I must get round to sorting out the photo's on that how to, but once I explained to you how to go about it you did it with in the hour it usually takes nice one.

Hopefully the caliper replacement will go as smooth, another hours work for you next weekend

Back window update, I'm treating this one as a temporary screen, the HRW elements are knackered, so there is little point in paying to have it fitted straight.

I'll chalk it up to experience, and source another screen.

Ho hum

Default irony

At something of a loose end (Sunday afternoon, Columbo had finished), I decided to address the condensation issue in my front indicators. Attempting to prise the indicator from its housing resulted in one of the small spring clips snapping off and the unit disappearing down into the bumper. Fortunately, the hole left by the indicator was only marginally smaller than my hand and so I was able to fish around to retrieve it. I wear a "MedicAlert" bracelet (I lack quite a few key organs) and was a little concerned to find that this had wedged itself between my wrist and the hole, making removal of my hand troublesome. By the clever medium of tugging very hard on my hand I was able to extricate myself without having to summons her indoors, although I did leave a sizeable portion of skin attached to the car - can I make an ironic claim against the good people at MedicAlert?

Oh no...after all that time, hassle, effort, and cost over the weekend.
I do hope you find another very soon.
