Remember, you only torque the windshield screws 25-30 in-lb. While it's enough to spin the pressed fitting, you shouldn't have any problems with it backing out the screwed in fittings.

No kidding? Pictures or a video wouldn't make it better? Never said it was "necessary".

Naw...not even better...those were great instructions, putting up a video I'm certain takes some significant effort and time, and the result wouldn't be better than the excellent instructions given. We have gotten lazy, depending upon videos, etc...and again, there was a time when we didn't have that resource, but every time we want to do a simple thing, we don't need a video! Put it into perspective, and you'll see what I mean...
