How does the stock screen protector come out?

I used a short piece of duct tape at one of the corners and pulled gently. If the factory film "resists", a toothpick can be used for "persuasion". It'll peel right off. Get the new film on asap to avoid any dust particles settling on the screen.

THANKS, just ordered mine!

   I Love Forums. plenty of good info.
I took delivery of my RG CVO Ultra in March, very pleased EXCEPT with the Radio & Sat Nav. Sh*t system.
and yes very dangerous when the sun is behind you, (we do get this sometimes in England!). added to the fact unable to see the display
in bright sun light.
I have now ordered this film to help, but also looking for a better non HD radio system with or without sat nav. I still have my garmin.
My radio refuses to find all the FM stations that I know are available on scan. I have asked the moco to investigate but have no faith.
Let me know if anybody has ideas on a european suitable radio system.

I am just fitting couple of Clearlight lamps to the bull bars as well. another post next week.

my screen cover arrived yesterday and I applied it right away. Just back from a 150 mile ride today and WOW, what a difference. The only think that washes out the screen now is the sun hitting it full on, I doubt that anything would cope with that. I was seeing the screen 100 percent better now and even better than the dials LOL I am now wondering if they make them for the dials haha.
Great product and one hundred percent endorse it.

how hard is it to put the new protector on ..  i never can do it without bubbles

Have been out of the loop for a bit. Interesting reading and solution. I ordered an ipad anti glare cover which I will trim and apply when I get home in a couple weeks. For $15  I'll give it a whirl.
Cheers Tom

Installed the new screen protector today - was not able to use the duct tape trick to lift off the oem screen cover, so used a suction cup to apply some "pull" and some air pressure with a needle valve (wrapped with a little tape to protect the screen) to direct the air into the corner and under the cover and it lifted up easily. The air pressure made all the difference. Backed outside onto the driveway directly under the sun and it was still too bright to see the screen properly while parked. Took it for a quick spin and the new screen protector is definitely an improvement although ultimately a custom visor will most likely be required.

  Interesting, I just fitted my anti glare kit as well. Went out last night with sun behind and no issues at all. just getting caught with sun in the wing mirrors now!
Although, I did not remove the existing screen cover first as reported by Cultusrider above. Just gave it a good clean.
Recommend the kit though.

I thought about leaving the oem screen protector in place as well. Will be interesting to see if anyone else has done this and what the results are?

Question about removing the existing protector.  The stock screen looks to have a thicker plastic piece over it with the corner notches.  What exactly are yall removing with the tape or suction cup?  Is the thicker plastic coming out or is there a thinner protector on top of it?  Saw an HD installation instructions for their replacement screen protector and it says to stick tape in the corner and pull the old protector off.  I just received two DayVue protectors so trying to figure out best way to install.

Thanks for a remedy. Ordered my Nushield Day Vue yesterday.

Thanks so much for this information!

I bought 2 of these so I could try with the stock screen protector still in place first and then without the
Harley stock piece underneath it.

I installed OVER the stock piece and it REALLY helped! Now with sun behind me I cannot really see the screen BUT at least now it does not blind me when the sun is directly behind me. IT is a big improvement. I decided to leave it with both screen protectors on. Now I still have a spare!

A little glare I can live with, but when the morning or afternoon sun is at your back the glare becomes almost blinding and the screen unusable. 
From a safety standpoint, that alone should have been caught at the factory or by the Rushmore thingy, but maybe they just made comments and never got to ride the thing in it's finished design?  To me, it doesn't look like anybody at the MOCO rode it either in it's completed state.  For a system that extravagant on a bike this expensive, plus after their much-touted Project Rushmore, this should have been discussed and eliminated early on...no brainer!  I mean, it's not like HD has only been making bikes for 5 years or so...right?
When the screen becomes unusable because of glare, that should be the minority of the time.  The vast minority.  I don't want to have to scoot up or lean way forward to be able to see what I'm doing on the screen, and I don't want to have to take more than one or two glances to move my selection around or to see where I am on the screen.  That makes this radio a whole lot less usable and safe and friendly and fun.
The guys out there that are 6'5" say they don't have a problem, but the rest of us are saying at the very least it's annoying, and at the worst, it's somewhat dangerous.
I guess I'm crying on deaf ears because will the MOCO ever read these posts?  If they were smart they would.  If anything came out of Rushmore it would have been read the blogs, MOCO!
Don't get me wrong, there are times when I love the screen, but it's when I'm in the shade or at night, or the sun is in front of me and not behind or above me!
C'mon, MOCO!  You had some great ideas with this thing, but placement and angle of placement should have been at the top of your priorities!

I could not get it to stick good to factory protection so I attached directly to screen. Nice improvement!

Just to update from post 69 above.  The original screen protector that appeared to be a thick plastic with the corners clipped came right out with tape and a little help with a blunt toothpick.  Cleaned the screen with a microfiber cloth and applied the DayVue which was easier than I anticipated.  DayVue darkened the screen slightly and it is less glare than before but not as good as I had hoped.  It is better but not total solution.  When I ordered the DayVue the HD Roadglide came up in the model selections and selected the size shown earlier in post 54.  I've tried to go back and get the HD model to come up again and cant find it.  Almost appeared they were adding the RG to their selection lists.
