tuko Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Can I remove the windscreen frame without having to remove the roll cage and the roof? I'm thinking that I will be able to remove all the bolts to the top panel for the roof which should give me enough room to slide the windscreen frame straight out. Would that work? The reason for the question is that I recently had 2 new laminated windscreens cut, it time to replace the heavily scratched and chipped tempered windscreens. Todd.

Daan Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 You can just replace the screens in situ cant you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuko Posted April 5, 2016 Author Share Posted April 5, 2016 The lower screws are well hidden behind the dash panel therefore the question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snagger Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I have previously replaced a windscreen without removing the frame or dash - only the bottom screw in the centre vertical is obstructed, and that can be removed with mole grips and pliers. I then left that screw out on reassembly for ease of future repair (replaced during the big rebuild). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuko Posted April 5, 2016 Author Share Posted April 5, 2016 It's been years but I think I'll have to open the WSM for the series to see the procedure to remove the top dash panel. My original train of thought was that I could loosen the roof panel, remove the bolts to the windscreen frame then push it straight out, and as LR says, reverse to install.

ejparrott Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Ends off, screws along the top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snagger Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Ends off, screws along the top Five big screws, the four small screws holding the vent trims in, and don't forget the two small screws in the lower edge roughly in line with the vent flap levers.
