    Default Replacing wiindshield on 2016 RTS

    What type screwdriver? What size screwdriver? Take it off at brackets? Can't see well enough to determine if Allen or torx, don't want to use wrong one and mess up. Thought I would ask first.

    You know those little plastic trim pieces on the windshield?
    Remove the screw from the back side of it...
    It uses a Torx bit: (forgot the size... )
    Once that's out: put a playing card underneath the bottom edge of it (to prevent scratching!), and push it downward.
    It'll pop out, and give you full access to the four Torx screws that need removing.
    (I think that this is one size up, from the size that I forgot earlier!)

    Thanks for the video!
    Do you happen to know the two size Torx bits that are needed?

    Default Torx 25 for the trim covers, then Torx 27 or 30 for the rest of the machine screws

    The first 2 screws to remove the trim covers come off with a Torx 25. Just keep your hand on them while removing as they can drop down into the never, never land!! I just switched out my windshield for a trimmed down version.

    Thanks! I've just never kept track of which Torx I'm grabbing.
    (I just know where they are in the toolbox... )

    If you've got a 20, 25, 27, and 30: you've covered your Spyfdery-needs pretty darn well...
