Wondering if anyone knows what an average cost would be for the labour
only to fit a new screen?
Old one already out, and aperture clean and good. SE England - mobile
fitter needed to come to the job.

second-hand screen a few years ago (IIRC a fifth of the cost for a new
screen from the most widely advertised franchise) it should not be too bad.
Is this a modern, glued-in one, or an old fashioned rubber gasket type.
I've done the latter myself, not too difficult if you know the string trick.
Always seemed to me that the glued in type would be easy enough if you
did some googling on adhesives.

Sadly, I can't DIY as the car isn't here.
I have fitted the type with the rubber seal myself before, though. But
never a glued in one like this.

trained monkey could do it. Just phone your local screen place and they
will send one round.

With hindsight it would have made more sense to just smash out the old
screen. But my chap said it might come out intact, and it was OK condition
wise. Hence using someone skilled at working on them. That was the theory.

guess. All down to the windscreen guy. The cost for repair and painting
the body behind the screen pretty well what I expected.
But is was a job needing doing. The windscreen surround panel is one of
the few you can't easily get new. Luckily, it wasn't too bad.
