Firstly, with windscreen replacement being a pretty much standard feature on insurance policies now, is it even worth me removing mine to sell?

If there are people that do buy them (it has no bad chipping or scratches) how much of a ball ache is it to remove?

I asked someone and they said 'oh yeah, just whip some cheese wire round it' LOL

If it was that easy, and people did occasionally seek them, then I would crack on.

    I found screens a c**t to remove. I have tried on 3 occasions and cracked 3. You can get a new one for £100 so probably isn't worth the hassle.
