    Welcome to Dk nice first post there.

    Depends on what vechile it is.

    The main problems are

    1) Drying time
    2) Cutting out old screen.

    If the old screen is broken then you have a situation like Anne Lenox had, walking on broken glass. Trims get in the way, sometime they have to be removed with cheese wire

    The evchile must NOT be moved for at least two hours as the sealer is still
    wet, you don't want the wind to move the screen up and it set in the wrong place.

    You wount build a wall then get 20 fat people to stand on it whilst cement is soft!

    It would be possable to use 'lorry' sealer this dries quicker as you don't want a lorry screen to drop.

    BUT like cooking your food, you want to take your time not rush rush rush, because somebody is too impatiant to wait.

    Oh i have no idea about windscreens, this is the word on the street.

    Enjoy DK

    Depends on which make of car you want screen changing on,
    and the skill of the guy fitting it!!!

    Heated screens take pretty much the same time as a normal screen, they are
    only connected by a couple of push connectors, and a few have a 10mm earth bolt as well...
