Can you remove the front windscreen with out hacking the rubber to bits?

As I plan on reusing the rubber seal as it’s barely seen daylight, only been fitted on the car a few months and the windows need to come out so I can fit my nice new headlining (not covered in brown sticky goo)

The rear I’m fitting a new seal anyways as you could see through the join and it was leaking.

Cheers,

remove the filler strip from the center of the seal, then try pushing the screen out from one corner on the insider. it is a good idea for someone to stand on the other side of the screen too though.

Thats how i did all of mine.

Yeah, You Just Prise Out The Plastic Insert Towards You That Fits Inside The Rubber Seal.

try to warm the windscreen rubber first though with a hair dryer as it'll come out easier when its warm n soft

Okie dokie, will give it a try tomorrow if my arm hasn’t dropped off before then from polishing up some freshly re-sprayed areas on the mini.
