Default Instructions for replacing windscreen?

I need instructions on how to replace the factory windscreen with a fullsize aftermarket version I just bought. Its not a ricks version and I couldt find any instructions through the search engine. If anybody can tell me I would GREATLY appreciate it. I also wanted to know if anybody devised a permanent non-manual soultion for putting the top down with a full size windscreen.

BTW, Would anyone happen to know where I can find the anti-vibration rubber bumpers for the windscreen?

The frame is made of two parts,snapped and glued together.
With a small screwdriver,gently pry the two pieces apart,reinstall your screen,and re-glue the frame back .

BTW, if you cant get the wind screen off your console there are 4 screws (I think, haven't messed with mine in some time) that are under little covers you'll have to pop off with a screw driver.

Importkid is right. Its not that hard but kind of scary since you think you will break something. Just take a small flat-head screwdriver and pry it apart.
