Well, after a few months playing with my 68' Elan S4, it's time to get back to the Ultima so I can get it on the road for spring.

It's pretty much finished, but there are some details could do with improving. The main one is the windscreen, which I fitted myself. Now it's not bad, but I think it could be better, you know how it is fitting it is a one shot job.
My question is, has anyone replaced a windscreen, if they have who are the people to use?

I would leave it be.
The chance of breaking it during removal is very high. A professional will not give you any sort of guarantee to get it out whole.

I once removed it when I owned one for restauration. Just take your time. I didn't use a cutting wire but just a blade cutter inside and outside. Very do able but time consuming.

Not a professional then.
