Always a shame about the shiny silvery rim you get when doing hatches like corsas because of the black bobbles on the windows.

You needed to scratch them off with a blade before hand. No doubt the installer blagged you and told you it'll settle and disappear...it won't believe me I was there for weeks after pushing it down with some shit tool he gave me.
