I just went through that after finding a REAL

at a car show.
Tricks and tips to install it......

> The usual trick is to take it all to a windscreen fitting place - from
what I have been told the easiest (!) way is to fit the rubber to the
screen, then the finishers to the rubber, then the assembly to the car.
Trying to fit the finishers afterwards is a real challenge, and trying to
remove a laminated screen without it cracking is tricky without cutting the
rubber so doing it later isn't really an option.
