Can anyone suggest the best method for removing the goo that seals the windscreen to the fiberglass moulding - the one that carries the wipers. I can imagine it wont be easy...

Depends on the type of goo, very GENTLE warming may help, but first off you'll need plenty of patience. Don't rush it, likewise removal of the screen
Stanley knife does work, a broken off hack saw blade may also be useful
Good luck ! -

Depends on the goo but warm, a Stanley scraper, wire wool, and WD40, Acetone, cellulose thinners, and patience. Good luck!Comment

In the end it proved much easier than expected. The goo (some sort of putty I suspect) had gone hard and lost most of its adhesion.
Now for the REALLY BIG challenge - to get the windscreen out in one piece :-)

Re: Dismantling question 1 - removing the windscreen clamp
I know this is a Roadster, but when I removed the windscreen from my Berlinetta I used a small ratchet strap to pull the legs of the surround apart. I laid it flat on a trailer that I had, but you could do it on a lawn with a couple of pegs pushed into the ground. Tie one end and pull the other with the ratchet strap, it worked a treat for me.Comment

Sadly the screen frame on the roadster is part of the chassis only way is to dig out the putty/sealer as above try using a silicon releasing product.Ben Caswell probably not the last word on anything here!!Comment
