This was a windscreen replacement in Blackpool on a Mercedes ML. These vehicles are not the best windscreen replacements to do because of a big thick Black plastic windscreen trim which is part of the windscreen.

Don`t be tempted to put kettle water on your windscreen, if you have any stone chip on the windscreen there is a good chance the screen could crack from the hot water then you will need a full windscreen replacement.

A-Wire windscreen removal toolcut out tool

 Things are getting kind of tight around the windscreens nowadays, that’s why I use the tool for removing some windscreens. It’s called the A wire we feed razor wire all the way around the windscreen and feed it into the car, then with the A wire we just turn the handle and it pulls the wire through the windscreen glue very easily thus causing no damage to the aperture, A brilliant windscreen replacement tool. This picture was taken in Blackpool Lancashire.
