    2 screws for the front covers (T-25 I Know) and 4 screws for the windshield (T-30 I Believe). Do not remove the rubber grommets from the windshield.

    You do have to remove the rubber grommets if you do not have a spare set. I have changed mine about 4 times (once just last week). The entire switch took about 15 minutes, including switching out the rubber grommets. The little metal piece in the center of the rubber grommet must be removed before removing the grommet. Be careful that they do not fall out and get lost.

    Default Windshield Removal

    Just be very careful when removing the chrome front piece you don't twist it or you will put a scratch in the windshield.

    Just cover up all of the places where screws WILL fall and disappear...
    When you remove the chrome covers, you'll have to slide them down in order to release the locking tab. Put a playing card underneath the bottom edge of them in order to prevent scratching the windshield.
