Has anyone attempted or had an "expert" try to remove a GTR windscreen yet? Removing mine would make my dash recovering just so much easier.

Guy (Bluesatin) Took one out on his GTR. A complete domolition job! Not pretty and very messy.
Drop him a mail.

It should be possible but will need the correct tools and I would think someone who knows how to use them.
Not a route I would want to go.

Thanks Guys.
The problem was not so much fitting the alcotara to the dash but cutting the vent holes (4) in it so close to the base of the screen.
As we all know alcontara is a bitch to cut but I discovered that it melts easily so invented a hot knife type tool to cut the cloth easily.
