Hello everyone, I have a 1953, French built BN with a rotted rubber windscreen seal. Having bought a new seal from Chris I stupidly just removed the wipers, wound the screen out a bit and pulled the seal free from the bottom middle of the frame in each direction. Of course it jammed at the top and my first attempt resulted in some of the (not too brilliant) paint job popping off – so I stopped. I cannot see how to remove the screen although I guess it involves removal of the interior trim first to access the hinge(s). If anyone has done this and can help me with the process it would be very much appreciated. happy Christmas to all. Ken Jones

Sorry to go on – I pulled off the top interior metal trim from each side and a couple of spring clips popped out OK but I cannot budge the centre part and I’m afraid of bending the trim if I force too hard. There is a roughly 2 inch wide centre piece under which the ends disappear and it has two small lugs on its upper side – any ideas how to proceed safely would be appreciated?
