Valance
Panel
Situated beneath the fascia and dash there is a tray
called the valance panel.
It
becomes necessary to
partially withdraw this valance when, for some reason,
the heater demister pipes have to be disconnected. Under
such circumstances the four screws holding the top edge
of
the valance
to
the underside
of
the glove boxes and
the
five
fixing points securing the bottom edge, two
of
which hold the handbrake bracket, must be removed.
The valance can then be removed to the rear an amount
sufficient to give access to the demister pipes.
Windscreen
In
the Somerset car the curved windscreen is fitted
into place by a large rubber surround, grooved to take
the glass and grooved to fit the frame. The broken parts
of
the glass should be removed to enable the rubber
jointing to be withdrawn from the metal framing.
Fit
the square groove
of
the rubber jointing round
the new glass and run two pieces
of
flex
or strong cord
round each free groove in the rubber. Offer the wind-
screen into position from the outside
of
the car. Whilst
pressing evenly round the perimeter
of
the screen, the
cord or
flex
on the inside of the car should be peeled
out, thus securing the windscreen from the interior.
Having completed this, cord or
flex
on the exterior
of
the car must be peeled out.
Finally, Bostik solution should be smeared between
the metal frame and the jointing, on the outside
of
the car,
and between the outside
of
the window glass and the
jointing. Naturally, two operators should be employed
when fitting a new windscreen because
of
its size.
