Title: Appia front screen removal.. Post by: Cassino on 24 October, 2019, 02:52:35 PM Does anyone know if the front screen of the S2 model can be removed, and refitted without the need for a new rubber seal?

Unless the existing rubber seal is in very good condition it is easiest to cut the old seal and replace it. New seals are available here https://www.lanciavintage.net/en/rubber-parts-and-gaskets/75-windshield-seal-for-appia-2nd-3rd-series-1956-63.html Clarkey Title: Re: Appia front screen removal..

The screen lets in water from time to time, so just for a re-seal is needed. Title: Re: Appia front screen removal..

If you take out the screen I recommend cutting and polishing the paintwork in the window reveal before you put the screen back. It will make the finished job look like new.

I still have mine 😊👍I've also used it to seal the cracks in the Fulvia flexible carburettor mounting. Brian. 8227 8) Title: Re: Appia front screen removal..

with the joint at the top.( just by the rear view mirror) There are drain holes in seal. A good independent windscreen guy will remove the screen and reseal the screen with some black sealer. |
