Reply To: Internal windscreen surround

[David FaulknerParticipant]

55 is a ‘Big Boot’ car Ron? if so the windscreen surround from the bottom of the screen up is held on with the same metal ‘push’ clips as the door cards by locating in holes in the body along where the ‘tags’ are for the headlining.

You could try pushing it back on but it can be a pain to get locked in place and I would get some replacement clips as they tend to not hold as well 2nd time around before you pull it off to take a look.

To remove it completely though takes a bit of work as beside those clips, at the bottom, left, middle and right side are 3 screws to be removed. However the worst part is the speedo, as you need to disconnect the drive cable at the gearbox to get enough slack to pull it forward so you can get some access to disconnect everything so the frame comes away.

I would try and pull the top of the frame back first (gently so you don’t twist it) and have a look at the clips which should be at each end and the middle.

Good luck
