Model: Mini Mini - Years 1959-2000
Part: Windshield
Operation: Windshield disassembly and replacement

Windshield replacement is a delicate and dangerous operation. To prevent accidental breakage of the glass during removal, it is advisable to protect the interior of the car with covers in order to prevent glass splinters from spreading, even entering the interstices of the ventilation system. Also use suitable hand and eye protection. Start disassembling the wipers to remove it. Then with a sturdy plastic tool we begin to remove the gasket and moldings around the glass. Continue lifting the windshield to remove it. It is advisable to carry out this operation with the special suction cups. With a tool, carefully clean the edge of the residues of the old gasket. Place the new glass on the car, if possible using the suction cups. Then carefully push the edge of the windshield into the rubber seal. A little soap and water facilitate the operation. Refit the windshield molding and refit the windshield wipers.
