It stopped raining today, so I finished off the windows and they look great :) It didn't take long to do as I just needed to finish painting the edges and open the Carbond glue. If anyone is wondering how to do it, I just used a screwdriver to pop the end off and then threw the tiny balls away (which I presume absorb moisture in storage). Once I was ready to go I slipped the window edges on, ensuring the join was on the far side and near the top. I then used super glue to join the two edges together.Next was the bonding stage, so I cut a V into the Carbond nozzle. I then applied it as a continuous triangular band about 1mm from the trim. Once completed I quickly offered the window to the gap I had cut, whilst trying to get it straight first time. I then used my kayaking roof rack straps (which I had sorted prior) and some household objects to hold the corners in place to cure. I think it should be ok to drive in 4hrs but i'm going to leave it overnight just to be sure.
Clear IndicatorsI also swapped the orange indicator lights with clear ones as they arrived today. They took about 1 minute to complete. The old ones pop out with a screwdriver and the new ones slide in. As they are clear I had to also swap the bulbs from clear to orange. These and the side windows make a massive difference to the van!
