Windshield Removal and Replacement

Model: Mini Mini - Years 1959-2000
Part: Windshield

Replacing the windshield is a delicate and potentially dangerous operation. To prevent accidental breakage of the glass during removal, protect the interior of the vehicle with covers to avoid glass shards spreading into the ventilation system. Also, use appropriate hand and eye protection. Start by removing the wipers to take it off. Next, use a sturdy plastic tool to remove the seal and trim around the glass. Proceed by lifting the windshield to remove it. It is advisable to carry out this operation using suction cups. With a tool, carefully clean the edge of any residue from the old seal. Position the new glass on the vehicle, preferably using the suction cups. Then gently insert the edge of the windshield into the rubber seal. A little water and soap will help with the operation. Refit the windshield trim and reattach the wipers.
