20 Windscreen, rear window
and tailgate glass -
removal and refitting
5
The primary window glass on the Rover 800
Series is flush-glazed, and secured to the
body shell by direct bonding. Due to this
method of retention, special tools and
equipment are required for removal and
refitting, and this task is definitely beyond the
scope of the home mechanic. If it is necessary
to have windscreen, rear window or tailgate
window glass removed, this job should be left
to a suitably-equipped specialist.
