If you take the scuttle off its an easy job and no plasters are required. Should only take 20 mins Thumbs Up!

Depends how big your hands are Roll Eyes

and I took a leisurely hour when I last changed mine. Thumbs Up!

I have rather large hands and it poses me no problems without the scuttle Wink

I've no idea how you managed that ............. I didn't consider the job with the scuttle in place. Wink

Jul 2011 at 16:29 I did it for the first time last week using the excellent photo's and notes from the maintenence guides. If you get a mate to help it should take no more than about 45 mins and no loss of skin.

Jul 2011 at 18:42 Relatively kerfuffle-free - ten minute job as long as the wipers co-operate. Guide as Dad above ^^^. Go carefully with the tacky plastic twist clips under the windscreen rubber as they break easily if you do anything Schwarzenegger with them.
