New poster! (less than 10 posts)
Looking for some advice….
I’ve removed the (damaged) bonded front screen from my 5 GTt. Did it my self, using the correct tools, wanted time to check & repair any hidden rust, fortunately there’s very little corrosion.
I’m intending to have a profession fitter install the new one….however how much of the bonding adhesive do I need to remove now the screens out?
I’ve scraped all the old black bonding mastic/adhesive flush with the aperture as far as possible leaving a flat clean surface.
There’s still some traces left, do I need to remove all 100% of it? If so is there a solvent which would do the trick, tried petrol and thinners without much success…it tough stuff.
Thanks
