I removed and refitted the laminated screen on mine - just used the normal cord in the rubber seal method.

If you tackle the windscreen installation, a point I learned the hard way. The last bit of cord is the trickiest. Always end in a corner. It's tempting and you tend to let the middle for last. However, when you have about 4 inches of seal left the glass will crack. The glass does not have to flex as much if you end in a corner.

It's tricky fitting a laminated screen - high risk of cracking it, so well done MGF! The normal toughened screens are easy to fit and very little risk. If you are getting a laminated screen I strongly advise expert fitting !

i am not fiting it
just prefer a laminated one, saves the whole thing shattering as with safty or toughened ones,
