Windscreen Frame replacement - S4
Posted: Tue Oct 11, 2016 11:47 pm
My S4 SE DHC has a cracked windscreen frame (at the base near where it joins the body) - if i had to guess someone was pulling themselves out of the car regularly by hanging on to the top of the screen and it eventually gave up... All is well when the soft top is up and the top of screen is braced by the roof stays but when the top is down you can move the right hand side screen pillar back and forth and the screen starts to lift out of the seal.
The question is - how do I repair / replace? It would appear that it is a moulded piece to the main body and not a separate frame like the earlier cars. At the same time a replacement of the weatherstripping and trim wouldn't go a miss either. Looking at it, I get the impression it could be beyond my moderate skills. Of course all this is compounded by the fact I live in Los Angeles which is not known for it classic Lotus knowledge.
Any advice here would be much appreciated.
