So.
What happened next?
The screen frame came off after sitting there for weeks.
Up to the house, laid out on the table, raised on a 2x4 to enable accessibility.
Glass goes there.
Of course smearing the adhesive along the frame in order to ensure complete filling of the grooves has repercussions.
Thankfully the right tools often make stuff easy to fix.
Scrape and cut…….
Job done.
Followed by thoroughly cleaning the glass before adding a MARMITE tint strip along the top.
Held in place by masking tape till dried in place.
After all the cleaning, an old friend was called back into service.
Yes, you saw that right.
RAIN-X
Frame then returned to the garage, fitted, removed and another layer of low density, self adhesive foam added before fitting a second time.
John the lodger was home for the day today and rather than sit indoors, was enjoying playing out back as well.
While he was inside the car, checking out the tint strip for obstruction, I added the front bumper spoiler.
Looks like what I have been looking for, for some time.
Pushed out into the late afternoon sun, it looks good enough to me.
Finally pulled off the masking tape that held the tint in place while it dried fully.
And lastly……..
Another 2 minute movie for the fans.
Lets see how many people click through and look what happened.

Three days off work has delivered good progress.
Quiet without @nickwheeler today. But then I did not do a lot of stuff as I had also offered Sally some of my time.
Back to work tomorrow.
