Success! got both screens out today on my own - while I'm sure this is nothing new to alot of you I still figure I'm probably not the only person who didn't know how easy it is so I took a few pics and here is a bit of a guide.

How to remove non bonded glass on your own (based on something I saw on another site but lost the link)

step one: make up about 10-15 small rectangles (roughly 30mm x 60mm) out of something reasonably stiff but still slightly bendy - I used some aluminium sheet but you could probably use thin panel steel or even plastic



step two: starting from somewhere along the top peel the rubber back and tuck one of the rectangles in behind the rubber, try to push it down into the notch in the rubber but dont force it too much, there is no need to rush. put in more of the rectanlges like this working away in both directions from wherever you started until you have the whole top and as much of the sides of the rubber strip being pried away by the rectangles.







step three: now its a bit of a juggling act between pushing out on the glass firmly and pushing all the rectangles further into the rubber seal and eventually when they are deep enough in past the metal flange you can lever them down to get the rubber to unfurl completely. it was really just a matter of working methodically and carefully between pushing the glass out and levering the rectangles until the top of the screen came free.

and done








Really an easy job in the end, just dont rush and take alot of care to try and work the screen out evenly. that said the whole job didnt actually take very long, only about 15min to get both screens out - it took longer to cut up and deburr all the bits of aluminium.

I too use a screwdriver or two to remove rubber mounted screens. That's an interesting method though!

a fidly job. it's done by cutting it out using a piano wire for example. just smash it out, it's broken already.

i usualy stick a 1/2 mm thick nylon with a duct tape on the inside of a windscreen and then just smash it to pieces.

how much does it cost in your part of the world to get it replaced by a professional?

Thotos.
Did pilkington supply you the glass with the green sun stripe ?? as i was told you can get replacement windscreens made but they dont have the green sun tint just plain. True or false ?
Also did they remove rubber with out damage ok...

Intresting !!
Was told windscreens were a nightmare to get hold off witht the tint.
Thats good to know then thanks Theo..

Yagmurs front & rear rubbers are the same as the sport exactly!
