Run a cheese wire round the screen....pretty much all it takes.
 
You will need to replace the rubber in most instances though.

Getting the mirror boss off is a different matter though!
 
If you cant get it off with a blade.....try spraying it with lighter fluid....and then setting fire to it!......it will loosen the sealant and should allow you to get a blade through it.  Failing that....Hammer ;)  Just don\'t put it back on the wrong way round...:)

I have them in stock.  They cost £48.73 + P&P + VAT
 
We have the heated windscreens in stock also...if you fancy one of them ;)  We can sort this out under your windscreen insurance if you have it??  Plus depending on your level of cover we can usually give you a credit note to the value of your excess....so in theory the screen costs you nothing :) :)

No because that would be breaking the law as well as your screen!
 
But if you were to develop a crack in your screen I will replace it with our screen.

I even handle all of the insurance claim for you :)
 
So for the sake of a couple of hours....a bit of a no-brainer!!
