So how do you move the plastic rain tray doober out of the way with out breaking it? It is sealed up to the windshield pretty well and dosnt really give that much room to work with...any tips?

Re: (byemaxima)

it bends up pretty easily and i just prop it up with some small plastic bottles
orig poster that showed removal instruction showed using 2" wide rolls of tape
and one tip - to pull it out, some long cable ties hooped, one over each post you see at the front corner and then the other end of those cable ties wrapped around a wooden dowel or pc of small diameter pipe makes it easier to pull straight out
after bending that tab out of the way, mine really didn't want to come out

yup, it's flexable! it also lays down flat when you're done, nothing to worry about (see full size step3 pic from above)
