Default How to remove the windscreen?

Hello,

So i need to take my windscreen out of the saph.

It has been put in with something like silicone i think, should i just get a knife and cut round this then push it out?

When it is out do i clean all the silicone off for when it goes back?

Any help would be brilliant thanks!

Many Thanks Eigdoog.

Pull the rubber seal out from one end all the way round.

Then buy a windscreen cutting wire. Feed the end of the wire through at the bottom corner. With one person in and one person out you can then effect a swing cheese cutter motion and use the wire to cut all the way round. Then the screen will lift off. Easy job. Did it recently.
