Time to fit the windscreen. Had a trail fitting a couple of weeks ago but was not sure about the gap between the windscreen and the scuttle. A phone call to Westfield reassured me that it was normal (?). In the centre of the screen there was about a 10mm gap. I decided to "fill" this with some foam door sealer ... the self adhesive foam type. I attached one piece to the lower edge of the windscreen and another to the scuttle. This filled the gap quite well and I sealed it on the outside wih lots of silcone sealer.
One other point to note ... I made a "prop" to the 1007mm dimension as directed in the manual. However when I trial fitted the side screens they were way off at the rear. I needed to adjust the windscreen rake quite a bit so that they fitted nicely against the rear whel arches.
Fitting the fibreglass cver strip across the lower part of the windscreen was a bit fiddly too ... required lots of fettling with the dremel.
Fitting the interior side panels was fairly easy. I had some black headed 3mm rivets so used these to fix he panels. There is a small peice of panelling to fit behind the scuttle. No instructions as to whether this overlapped on top of the side panel or below. It looked better below so I opted for that.
