Re: How do I remove my windscreen??
If you're thinking of re-using the existing seal I've heard that's a no-no as over the years it will have moulded itself to the exact shape of the bodywork contours and the chances of getting it back into the exact position it came out of are pretty much nil.............so it'll leak more than likely. I'd get a new one

Re: How do I remove my windscreen??
I've had seals reused before. living in Africa means taking a lot more chances as the materials are often not there. However if you do reuse be prepared to pump a tube of silicon into the bits that may leak. mine is out right now as its getting welded. I did pay someone to do it though as I wasn't sure that I could find a new window if I broke it.
