Think we'll have to nominate you to be our CMP Collision Repair Expert.

Keep up the good work.

Many thanks for your kind words. However - Expert I'm not, but it's great being retired, you can get on with things!

Now a bit of help please? I've attached a pic of the windscreen base scuttle line (ie where the windscreen contacts the top of the scuttle). If you look at the attached pic, I've drawn a line marked in pink. If you look along that line across from the passengers A post to the Drivers A post is it straight?

At the moment we have a slight angle at the centre of the windscreen. I need to establish if my vehicle has had the centre deformed by the impact.

The A posts look to be very strong structures, whereas the the two uprights from floor to windscreen base each side of the engine are fairly flimsy by compariison. I suspect the centre posts have moved thus creating the deformation.

I'd much appreciate you having a look at your cab and letting me know, as this will impact on the front panel rework.

Thanks & best wishes

Jerry
