Spitfire windshield install

The windshield is in !
Huge milestone and big thanks to my friend Bruno who helped installing.

My 3 step process is different than what we normally see on Triumph forums so I'd like to share :

1. When the rubber has been stored in a loop for several years it is not that easy to install around the windshield and make it stay. So we installed it then kept it in place for a few weeks with the help of rope and bungee cord. Did the same with the "metal" strip.

2. No rope technique here. Apply plenty of soapy water and position slowly. Used a 90 degree bend screwdriver to slowly pull the lip on the inside of the frame. The outside lip is easy and can be done by hand. Slowly go round and it will pop in place.

3. Push in the "metal" strip now while everything is fresh.

Et Voila !
