take them off completely and pull the sreen towards you

so you dont scratch the nose fairing with the clips when pulling the screen out like this (bit blurry but its the two large marks, the little things are bugs

Thanks for the tip. So far I've ordered two tinted screens (different companies) for my 12s and they have been backordered for the last 3 months. I'm thinking seriously about the spray can approach from the inside.

How about the BMW tinted screen?

Sorry for your mishap, chewie.

Excellent tip, chewie. Thanks. Now I don't have to learn from my own mistake.
