Can any one lead me in the right direction as to the best way to remove and replace a GTII windshield. I want to restore mine and don't want to take any chances of breaking, chipping or scratching the one in it. Any input would be greatly appreciated maybe pic's from a manual anything...

Hire a pro. After its out wrap it in bubble wrap and place it where no one will go near it.

Cut the original seal from the inside. Gently push the windshield out with someone on the outside to guide it. Store in safe place. To reinstall put new seal around glass. Lube seal and windshield opening with silicone lube or windex. Install a 1/8" rope in seal groove having the ends overlap at the bottom. Set glass in place and while someone gently pushes on the bottom , { in the vid he slaps it as it goes in. works better if pushed. Save the slapping for after it is in.}start pulling the rope ends from the inside. slowly work your way around until the seal has fully flipped over the fiberglass frame. When done firmly slap the glass with the palm of your hand around the edges to fully seat it. This video shows how to do it.
