Not at the moment Im afraid.The rubber trim at the bottom of the windscreen is quite flexible and can be pulled up with your fingers or slide a blade under it and lever it up to access the retaining fixings.I will try and take a pic for you when its daylight to show how its done.

Good evening sir, You know, when I was going to town I tried to push the windscreen rubber up, without hassles there I saw the clips. So seeing the picture you sent me confirms what I saw. Now I've confidence to work on it tomorrow. Thanks very much you are of great help to me, may the dear Lord bless you and keep you in good health all the time.

Hello Dear members,  How goes preparations for Chrismas? With me all is well, only ups and downs here and there.
Any idea, both heating and air conditioning have just stopped working in my omega (Speed Bird). Please if  possible help, its even forming ice inside the windscreen, its really severe.
Thank you in advance.

Hello Dear Members, Today I had ago on the car, I managed to remove the scuttle without hassles (actually it took me almost 5mins). And it took me 3 mins to locate the HBV, the reason was that I was looking for something bigger than I found. Then I disconnected the vac pipe, put a small bolt there, start the engine then heat came on in the cabin but only 40-45%. Thus what has happened today, so what should I do next honourable members?  I really thank all members trying their best to help me, mainly Albitz, Andy B, RobG, The Boy, The alarming man, Symes and Rsymes 2k, may the Lod bless you.

With the vac to HBV disconnected, let the car fully warm up, then see how much heat you are getting up the windscreen.

If you then use the climate panel to send all air to feet, are you still getting warm air up the windscreen>

Thanks sir, I will try to do that and report back the outcome.

Hi Sir, as you instructed, using the climate control panel I directed air to feet, there was some warmth on feet but not on windscreen. However I could get some warmth when sending air to windscreen using climate panel control. Once again, thanks.

Hmmm, sounds like the vacs controlling the flaps are OK then.  Struggling to understand why removing vac to hbv improves, but does not entirely cure, the problem.

With the Climate set on HI, is there any vac on the pipe you have removed from HBV?

Not sure sir, but I blocked it as well. I will check it tomorrow and I'll come back to you. Thanks

Hi sir, it seems there is nothing coming out of the pipe removed from the HBV. Thnks

As to no hot air either, check first that the pipes going to the bulkhead are hot. There could be a vac problem causing no heat. Easy test if its a vac problem is pull the vac hose off the top of the HBV.

Have you done this?

Do both pipes get hot to the touch or is one only warm

The pipes from the HBV DOES NOT, I can't feel any heat from them, Sir.
