I agree with Paul. I was told that removing the seats is best when
removing/replacing the Windshield. I thought, dang those are long bolts if
removing the seats help getting the Windshield frame off. Well I am 6'1" and
back then I was 245Lbs, after banging my head, cutting my arms, and bending
my back in un-natural ways I realized that I need to either learn Yoga fast
or take the seats out. So I took the seats out. WOW! What a difference it
made. It made life so easy that now I remove the seats when I rotate the
tires too. Just kidding, but it really does make life a little nicer when
you are removing the Windshield.
