Cheers Fred,

Windows are all back in today and steamer left in car for a couple of hours to smooth out any headlining wrinkles.
Not much left to do, been a long haul but definitely seeing light at the end of the tunnel.

Did you do the window fitting yourself?

Hi Steff,
The rear and side windows were firstly done by my Father and then we took them back out for fitting the headlining (which I hadn't remembered about!!!) and then I had an old skool mechanic/bodywork Guy come round and fit both the headlining and windows for me. Done a lot faster/neater than I'd ever have managed!!

Hi Phil,

Your getting there. How effective was the steamer at removing the wrinkles?

Hi Chris,

the steamer worked very well.
Couple of small bits still there but they should come out when I fix on my sun visors, mirror etc.
Guy also said if they didn't, we would do some localised steaming on any problem areas.

Pity you weren't nearer Steff, could have had the Guy take a look.
