Help: Best way to fit new window & seals mk1 escort?
Never done it before
What's the best way for a newbie to fit front and back windscreens with new seals and push in chrome surround and also my two side windows. Tried to look for youtube videos for any tips but can't find much. Anyone able to help
Cheers

hi mate
all you need to do is fit the seals to all windows you wish to fit and get some good strong string wrap it around the inside of the seals place the window/s you fit onto the car and from the inside of the car (get someone to hold the window from out side)pull the string from left side first and as you pull the string the rubbers will seal there self into position.
as for the chrome surrounds use a small drop of car shampoo on a brush brush the rubbers with it and slowly push the surrounds into shape job done
