I've had mine off so many times, getting ready to take it off again to run a new GPS cable from my dash to the glove box. x2 on the rag or I just use paper towels and stuff them in there. Once you take those 2 10mm bolts out just pop the edges out from the rubber grommet on each side and pull forward. The whole front piece will come off easily and your windshield bolts are right there. I think they are 8mm and there are 3 of them. I installed a M*dstad windshield on mine and ran a piece of weatherstrip with a sticky side on the bottom lip of my windshield and then I run my power cable and an accessory power wire for my USB port through there to my side cubby and plug them in.
