Default switching windshield

Haven't found this subject, so Pardon my question , those who get upset over repeats. I'd like to know any tricks involved in switching windshilds on a roadglide. I'm not the most handy person but i should be able to handle this, given a few helpfull hints, Thanks in advance.

Just the 5 screws. It's a pain in the a$$ to get the rubber strip on the bottom back on though.

Sprint, thanks i removed the 5 and had a heck of a time with the grommets in the rear, perhaps i was afraid to pull the fairing apart to much. Thanks 5 screws i can handle. Figured there was some other trick.

Start & finish with the center screw and work from side to side... take your time and don't rush... It does take awhile and a few beers goes great while doing this R&R...

Just don't tighten those dang "well nuts" to tight .. if you do you'll have to go to the dealer and buy a little bag of 10 like I did. But that's ok cause the next time you have the fairing off for what ever reason, you can retrive them from the inside of the fairing cause that's where they end up. Good Luck.
