Random question....how hard is it to remove the windscreen? I'm in need of a replacement for mine, obviously I know they have to be fitted and bonded in by a professional fitter. I can collect when we swap dashboards (which I can do anytime your free now).

might be worth removing the brake Master cylinder as these can go and are not cheap..

I've got no idea bud, but if we can get it out its yours

yeah definitely got to arrange to do this swap, and I will have a trial run with the dash in the type s when I get chance

As for the windscreen guys, I work with someone who was a windscreen fitter for years. I'll give him a text and see what he says.

Okay that was a fast response

Get some cheese wire off eBay (windscreen specific stuff). Remove all the trim you can (interior and exterior) so you can see as much of the glass edge as possible. Cut into the windscreen bond/sealant with a knife and feed the wire through, then you can basically just saw all the way around with the wire. You'll need two people ideally but you still need to be careful as you can still break the glass!

I work with glass too

so I'd expect the windscreen to be around 30kg so be careful init.
