          • Thanks to all for the above discussion around the Koni install instructions etc., I'm going to add some of that into the Bilstein into MacP Strut thread, as at its root this addresses a shared threat with sensible alternate counter-measures. You may be interested to know I did find freeze/crush damage to one of my stock original Boge's which was so distorted, it was also difficult to remove from the strut. Having neither a drain-hole or oil-fill, the strut-tube had on its own become water-filled; of which, correct; didn't take much. My guess is it entered via the 6-sided opening in the OEM strut-tube cap-nut. Of course this wasn't apparent at the time, or fatal till winter and is interesting in that it is a little known variation on "Frozen Strut Syndrome" that in this case only (a conventional, sealed twin-tube type damper) does require freezing temperatures.

            • Windscreen removal did not go to plan.
              Someone had used panel bond inside the seal. It was never going to end well.

                  Trick of the light. It's green. Apparently available.

                    I nearly said a bad word then

                    Make sure the two drain holes under the seal in the bottom corners are open through to the scuttle.

                            I was going to do it myself but I have to admit that some of it is beyond my skill level.

                                Just rolled straight on no problem. The dolly has wheels.
