Wow...that's amazing. It strangely looks so neat and tidy with nothing in it! Funny that!
All very interesting however....Thanks for sharing Paul.

How did you do that....one word of advice: don't be like me, taking out a CX front wind screens and storing it in such a way that something fell on it and cracked it :( Quite easy mistake to make I can tell you!

CX screens are put in with a seal bead, easyer to remove. These are bonded.. It wasn't easy, in hot bloody weather too!

I was worried where to keep it for now aswell, I have put it in a safe I THINK place..

Indeed, CX screens are fairly easy to get out once you've got the knack. Couple of flat ended screwdrivers and not even 10 mins sees one out.

Well done getting the screen out in one piece, Paul.
