I was all set to fit the dash when I realized that the windscreen needs fitting first so.
We had already fitted it once, so it was a relatively easy job (but a bit scary as a lot of money) windscreen was fitted and then rechecked the measurements to make sure it was still right .930mm from the windscreen to the back i had 931 mm so good enough for me.
the 2 covers were placed on the pillars, and it becomes apparent that they need bending to the shape of the car, did this with a piece of decking wood a 1/2-inch drive extension and a vice, nice smooth bend.
other blogs seem to use self-tapping screws to secure these plates but wen i drilled the hole for the outside it was so close to the station hole i was worried it would split
I have opted for 4mm bolts
the outside ones need to be 50mm due to the curve, ordered these so hex head fitted for now.
once these were fitted, removed everything again and applied black silicon to the gap and underneath the plate then refitted te plates and windscreen.
once the button head bolts arrive i will be able to swap one at a time without disturbing the seal
