Windscreens.
I have been putting this off on account of the rumours of how difficult it is.
Thanks to Mike's Restorations on Youtube (here) and his very very detailed how to videos, I managed to wrap my brain around the mechanics of the seal. His approach of making sure the alu surround is correctly shaped and angled worked for me. I spent a few days perfecting the trim, to the point that I managed to fit both screens on my own with 5. minutes of help from a small person. They will need a bit of sealant under the lips and in the corners as per the factory manual. As per Mike's suggestion, I would recommend using Porsche OE seals. I bought URO front and rear seals from our host. The rear was perfect, the front was nowhere near right. The Porsche OE I bought as an alternative for the front fitted perfectly, first time.
