Don't do it yourself lol

The fitter should advise you not to drive for at least a couple of hours after the screen is fitted to ensure the bonding agent has gone off properly  :smiley:

Other than that there's not much you need to do

As Rhys said nothing you can do. The windscreen fitter will know how to remove everything
