window Surrounds

[Pete]

Tried doin my window surrounds today, got the window out and started to fit my window back with the surrounds on, got all the rubber past the metal from the inside apart from a corner bit and i can't manage to get the rubber bit in the corner over, anyone got any ideas on how to do it? or do i need to take it out and do it again without but doing the corners first?

[Jack]

Are you doing it as per Haynes, with the bit of string round the rubber?

[Pete]

No, im doin it by the article posted on the How To's
so with a screw driver pulling the rubber back over the metal

Should only but one lip of rubber over (to go over the bodys seam)

Just use your fingers and roll it over, that's all i do.(screw driver in the corner) is fiddley. Get some one to push on the out side in wards.

i tried doing it with my fingers but there isn't that much stretch on the rubber to get it over

Dont do a Baxter & shatter/fall through the window gashing your arm open thought

You sure the windows pushed at the way in to the frame?

Should be enough that once you have a small bit over the shells lip you can just roll/wiggle the rest over..

second that,
when i did it, it took me a couple of attempts to get the window in far enough to have enough rubber.

just push well on the outsides of the glass and then pull the rubber over while pushing.
