Couple Of Q's About Rubber Winscreen Seals And Tint Removal

[BSK]

firstly the rubber windscreen seals....

are these readily available in AUS? or are they import specials... i called 2 of the major windscreen repairers and all i got was the national bookings/quotes call centers who dont know anything.

or

can windscreen shops cut out and replace just a section... like a shrunken and lifted corner seal

also i have a few annoying sections of tint left behind at the base of the front windscreen in awkward areas to get a scraper to it... does anyone know of a kickass solvent i can use to help it off the glass. bear in mind its probably well aged 15yr old baked in tint.

Yes you can buy the seals. They are available from Mr Nissan and cost a packet. You can also use universal window seals that do the same job without waiting and without the premium price. Personal preference.

I would recommend replacing the whole seal. I'd be surprised if they would replace just a corner - the dollar saving between that and redoing the whole lot would be negligible.

Dude did you really mean tint on the front windscreen? I thought that was illegal - well more importantly, asking for trouble...? Weird. Anyway, to remove it, you'd need to know what type of glue is used. Maybe call Solartint etc. and see if they can help. Unfortunately, they're more likely to just tell you to bring the car in so they can charge you for it
