Hey guys so I was wondering if I could get some insight on windshield installation. I've read in the lupwalli threads that if u use the black rubber seal you need to paint the edges of the windshield so it doesn't show or something. Is this true? Also do u need to fill in all the clips holes with silicone or something? Do u also still need to use the butyl? Thanks for the info.

I recently removed mine. I started at the lower right corner. I actually used mechanics wire and routed it through the butyl, wrapped each end around a "leather gloved" hand and started to cut it. It was a slow process and you need to be careful around the clips cause the wire will hang up on them. I would think that a guitar string would work well on this. It crossed my mind after i broke the mech wire twice. Anyway it came out without breaking it.
