Windscreen Installation
The satisfactory performance and durability of the windscreen is wholly dependant on the integrity of the mechanism and the quality of the installation. We can not be responsible for problems resulting from faulty installation. Follow the instructions carefully and work slowly and cautiously. Do not exert excessive force on any part of the mechanism or the screen — they are plastic and may break Your windscreen shipped with a protective paper/film covering on both sides. To protect it from scratches, leave the covering on until you are ready to mount the screen on the mechanism.
1. Remove the stock aero screen mechanism from your car. Start by prying loose the two small gray plastic tabs on the top of the mechanism on the side toward the rear of the car. Use a small screwdriver. To protect the tabs from scratches or digs, wrap the screwdriver tip with a single layer of electrical tape. When the tabs are removed, you’ll see a machine screw with a Phillips head in each of the two holes. Loosen the screws with a Phillips screwdriver until the windscreen assembly detaches from the compartment cover. Save any loose parts. If the screen assembly does not come loose, proceed to step 2,. If it does, skip step 2.
2. Lift up the compartment cover. Underneath, you’ll find two small nuts that attach the windscreen mechanism to the compartment. Using a socket in a small socket wrench or driver, remove the nuts. You may have to use the Phillips screwdriver on the top side of the machine screws to keep to screws from spinning as you turn the nuts loose. Once the screws are loose, detach the windscreen mechanism from compartment cover. Save any loose parts.
3. Take the mechanism to a work bench or other flat work space. Cover the workspace with a shop towel or other soft surface to keep the mechanism from being scratched while you work on it.
