The A Pillar deflectors are looking great but there was much swearing trying to fit them until I used the parachute cord method, remembered from fitting my Camper windows. All looks good but the dear thing won't start, turns over but no blue spark fron coil to dizzy as per Haynes test. It's time to seek expert help I think.

Hello, this is the method I used, adapted from putting windows into my '63 split.<br /></div>
<div>
1. Place a length of electrical tape along the outer guttering, prevents scratches.<br /></div>
<div>
2. Wrap same type of tape around the end of a medium flat blade screwdriver, prevents massive scratches!<br /></div>
<div>
3. Find a long piece of parachute cord or nick the guy rope off your sons tent.<br /></div>
<div>
4. Ease the screwdriver blade under the ouster edge of the window seal.<br /></div>
<div>
5. Place the cord into the gap created by the screwdriver all the way down the seal.<br /></div>
<div>
6. Take the deflector and place the leading inner edge under the seal.<br /></div>
<div>
7. Apply some gentle pressure to keep this edge under the seal as you pull the cord down the windscreen seal.<br /></div>
<div>
8. Your aiming to insert the plastic leading edge into the space vacated by the cord.<br /></div>
<div>
9. When leading edge is well seated, spring the back edge over the electrical tape bad into the gutter.<br /></div>
<div>
10. The deflector should now be wedged between the gutter and windscreen seal.<br /></div>
<div>
11. Remove the electrical tape</div>
