How to clean off the rust?

D'Oh !!  I knew you were going to say that. I just knew it.

Rare spares Eh. One rubber and O'Briens for an install.
Well at least its summer & the chances of rain are (hahahaha) minimal.
 I dont have a garage to drive into, just a tarp to throw over the top.

Hey do you think rare Spares would be able to get a roof panel for my Beddy? Then I can just cut it off and weld on a new one.

Install the windscreen yourself.
Takes a bit of fiddling, but I did my red truck by myself. Took a couple of hours!

As for a roof... Ben does fibreglass ones. PM him for a price.

I watched the guy when I got a new screen many years ago & he had just gooped it up, in went the rubber & a long length of string... 10 to 20 minutes later he was wiping it all down & handing me the bill.

So yeah, I could probably fudge my way through that.

I think I can weld OK, (?) so I recon I can do that.

The string should be 5mm or so, to thin and it will cut the rubber.
In the corners make circles as you pull it, sort of roll the rubber out.
You can thump the screen with the side of your fist to help it into place

Is easy to do, take your time and all should be well.

To get them out, there are several ways, best to use 2 people (one to stop the screen falling on the ground), but if you only got yourself then use washers, yep washers. Peel the rubber up and place a washer between the frame and rubber to hold the rubber up, keep doing this every few inches until the washers fall out/in and you'll be able to push the rubber over the lip once you have a few in there. Corners can be tricker, just use more washers closer together.
The other way is to use your boot (not bare feet) and push. In a Bedford the angles aren't very comfortable but you can sit in the seat, foot up top by the rubber and push, using a screw driver to help peel the rubber over the lip.
The original screens are toughened and take a lot to break them, pushing alone wont break it, but NEVER kick it or beat it with your foot.

Oh and before you try take it out, run a screw driver or similar around the outside edge, as sealer, paint etc can stick the rubber to the frame

Spray ww40 around the windscreen rubber before you
Pull the screen back in.
