Just wondered if anyone has ever replaced their old greying windscreen scuttle panel (the one the windscreen wipers poke through)?

Mine is badly greyed and won't re-blacken with anything I've used and I've tried a few plastic black products with no luck!

Is it a difficult job to do as it seems to sit under the wings tightly? Or is it really worth bothering with!! FFRR Vogue 2003 4.4V8 - Epsom Green & Ivory

hi yes i have, they go a grey-ish colour from the sun, very easy to do just need a puller to get the wiper arm bases of as they are tapered and can get stuck on.. V8 facelift Range Rover Autobiography 22" wheels.

I got mine to go back dark grey with Gtechniq C4 but the screw covers are still light grey almost white!

Go figure,

Cheers guys - seen one new for £25 so thought I might go for it! Daveo - is it just the windscreen wipers you need to remove and was it a pain to align the new one? FFRR Vogue 2003 4.4V8 - Epsom Green & Ivory

Yep pretty easy. You will need quite a deep puller though as the standard sealed and Halfords ones don't have quite enough reach to get locked on to the cast piece under the wiper . For alignment you could use blue masking tape as a reference.

thats the type of puller you want, just mark them with a black ink marker and you cant go wrong...get your self some new fixings first V8 facelift Range Rover Autobiography 22" wheels.

You might also need a new strip of goo to create the seal to the windscreen. The existing one may be OK, though... .

Will do RRVSE, although am worried about getting it to fit snug!

I've tried this on a small area of the scuttle and it does seem to work, however the proximity to glass and of course the wiper arms makes me reluctant to do the whole thing.  Geoff
