replaced my windscreen scuttle

[Brakebuster]

my windscreen scuttle middle fixing had broke , its right by the wiper arm mount, and as such it lifted enough to make the wiper scrape over every time, leaving scratch marks all over it

so i got hold of a brand new one from ebay,

i had it in the garage for ages, but finally got round to fitting it last weekend

removal is easy, lift the nut cover on the wiper, undo the 17mm nut and pull of the wiper arm, while unplugging the washer hose

then undo the small torx screw ( 5 off ) on the scuttle and lift away

this is where the pollen filters for the cabin would be fitted , but all i have are four scuttle holes for the air intake for the cabin fan,

it was quite dirty under there , as you can imagine with the water running down the screen for many years, there was also some minor signs of surface rust appearing on some seams , so a good clean around and under the windscreen seal and i was happy, i also sprayed some waxoyl onto the areas showing the beginnings of rust, so that will hold it for another nine years,

offered up the new scuttle cover , it already has a new screen seal and washer components fitted, so simply goes right in , installed the torx , fitted the wiper arm and hey presto

another small but significant job dome, lol

This is what the BB is all about......great.....good detail on how to do the jobs that are easy for the novice to do,but would have at least an hour allowed to at a main dealer.....in some cases £100 plus the part at full retail less your JEC discount.......Joe
