I've got an E36 M3 convertible, and it's having a few bits of paintwork done next week. Now part of this is a small patch of bubbling paint in the top corner of the windscreen pillar (this is the only rust on the whole car). To fix this properly the screen will have to come out and it has a stonechip that has turned into a crack in the cold weather so I should be able to get this replaced under my insurance.
My question is what is the best way of going about this? I was thinking of taking photos of the screen/pillar and cutting out the top corner of the screen but it also seems like a good opportunity to get any other potential rust out when I have someone remove the screen. I'm going to call my classic car insurers on Monday and see what they suggest but maybe someone else here has been in the same situation. I wonder if they would be open to two visits, one to remove and one to replace?
