If the guys any good he can reuse the trim, I had AutoWindscreens to do a truck and they did it no problems.

I assume it's being done on your insurance? If so, then sod it! Wait and get a new trim.....

No need to risk bu99ering up the old one then, is there....

I had the same problem with National Windscreens at the beginning of the year. It took weeks to sort out. The bloke that came to replace my screen couldn't remove the trim without damaging it, so he went away and said they'd order new trim for me.

Many phone calls later and it was decided that to order new trim would cost nearly £400 so 'would it be alright if we take your car into our workshop where we have the machine that will remove the trim without damaging it?' Why the hell they didn't do that in the first place I don't know.

Still, I finally got the new screen fitted, complete with my original trim at the end of January. It only took 2 hours. Perhaps it's worth checking with them to see if this can be done.

The guy that did mine just trimmed it off carfully with a very sharp knife. He just needed a hand down to the ground with it to make sure it didn't bend.
