When i was working in a wreckers I was told to only remove windscreens that were parked in the sun.
The only screen I broke was in the shade, so there may be something in it! :wink:

Hehe, sounds like someone had some dramas getting the bugger to seal :lol: Sounds like the one I put in my old HK had the bugger in and out 4 times trying to get it to seal right, even a pro couldn't do it so I just learnt to put up with it and avoid driving it in the wet :oops:

Where's the chip? If it's behind the mirror or high or low on the passenger side
you might be able to get round it.
