Some come off easy. I had to use a small gear puller.
WHS. windshield glazing is easy, just take your time. After install, I found a whistling at speed withy the top down so I used a little silicone (for glazing) to keep it down.

The windshield cowling was tougher. It's pretty large. Definitely get new mounting hardware because they are plastic too and half of mine broke. The windshield wipers were the biggest pain and the gear pullers never worked for me. I ended up using penetrating oil and the wiggle method by hand. Spray with oil, wiggle wiper, wait, repeat. Once I started this it was only about 15 min per side. I spent hours with gear pullers and buying those things. Complete waste.
