When you go to Bristol, this is almost Mission Impossible!
Anyway, the last item that I have on my list of things to be addressed is the top edge of the windscreen. I know that the screen I have is sold as being SVA compliant with regard to edges, sides and so on, but this hasn't stopped the inspector from being unhappy about it and so he has put it to me that I need to do something about it.
I fear that arguing with him will get me nowhere fast.
A thought I had to get around this was to look for some trim that would fit inside the top of the screen, but this would require to be fixed (ie. glued) into position. Glueing anything into this small channel may prove difficult or awkward to remove afterwards as I do wish to fit a hood later this year.
I have seen some trim on the Woolies web site, but nothing suitable. Part of the problem I see is that in the centre of the screen the gap goes wider, obviously to accomodate the hood frames that are inserted.
Another alternative, and probably the one I favour, would be to get hold of some clear tube and split it on one side so that it can open up. Then fix (ie. glue) this to the top front edge of the windscreen using some sort of contact glue. If I do this, would the glue be removable and/or would it damage the frame in any way?
Failing that, does anyone else have any good ideas? If I can get this sorted this week, then I stand a chance of getting the car back to Bristol next week.
Thanks,
Tony B
