u should just have to take off the 3 bolts on the inside of windscreen
holding it  to dash  & the two nuts underneath the dash that holds the two
side pins. mine came straight out; but i had no rust; if you've got rust,
best to load it up with WD40 & wait a day; if u bang on it u might break the
glass. the sid e mounting brackets don't have to be touched.
