How hard is it to install a windscreen (properly)? I could do with one but won't bother if it'll take a mission or many $ to install...

Ive recently seen how they've done it on the Mrs' Swift and it appeared to be fairly easy. 

They used the windscreen silicone, spacers, heavy duty masking tape, flat blades and thinners.

I think the hardest part is getting the windscreen out, but Brent from BMWorld may have a contact who can do this if you cant.

Hmm, too tricky for me one thinks. I might give S&S a call and see what it would cost me to get them to remove and install. If indeed they'd even do a labour only job.

Seal needs to be perfect after all.

Edit: is it genuine BMW glass?

Go do I tell? Will there be a bmw code on it or something?

Original or OE glass has the BMW emblem on it with the main stamp.

Thanks dude. Smith & Smith want $275 for remove and replace which seems like an utter rip-off to me, for crying out loud it can't take more than 60 mins can it? What's their hourly rate!?!

Novas and Auto-Glass can't give me a quote on the weekend but I will try them again on Monday. But really, unless I can get a quote closer to half of the S&S cost (which is unlikely it seems) then it's not worth if for me. Heck, even at a total cost of $350 I'll be considering it very carefully.

Will let you know but don't hold it on my account if you have interest from elsewhere.
