flat heads?

to remove the windscreen, remove metal clip and the V shaped plastic insert from around the seal, then push the top of the screen with your feet, from inside the car.

the metal clip is at the bottom of the screen, then you just pull the plastic like a snake.

DONT LEVER UP THE EDGES, OTHERWISE IT WILL CRACK.
