Re: windscreen
yeah theres a special tool you can buy for a tenner that makes putting that chrome in very easy. I dont think its gonna be easy to put the chrome in without it.

Re: windscreen
Best to wait till the sun has been shining too. It's much easier when the rubber isn't cold & hard. Don't bother trying to use a screwdriver or something either. The proper tool is cheap and makes it a much easier task to do.

Re: windscreen
Everything that's been said on this thread already, also if you're in cold conditions, either keep running a hairdryer over the rubber as so to keep it supple OR (not AND from a safety perspective) keep the rubber in a bowl of hot water. Good ol' washing-up liquid is a great lubricant to ease the glass into the rubber when you're at that tricky stage of two-thirds in.
