If you take the scuttle off its an easy job and no plasters are required.  Should only take 20 mins  :y

Depends how big your hands are  ::) ::) and I took a leisurely hour when I last changed mine.  :y :y

I have rather large hands and it poses me no problems without the scuttle  ;)

I've no idea how you managed that ............. I didn't consider the job with the scuttle in place.  ;)

I did it for the first time last week using the excellent photo's and notes from the maintenence guides. If you get a mate to help it should take no more than about 45 mins and no loss of skin.

Relatively kerfuffle-free - ten minute job as long as the wipers co-operate.  Guide as Dad above ^^^.

Go carefully with the tacky plastic twist clips under the windscreen rubber as they break easily if you do anything Schwarzenegger with them.

I quite agree about the twist clips but they are available from main dealer
