Quick windscreen fit and removal

Are any of the windscreens available for the PCX easy / quick to fit.
We take our PCX around with us in the garage of our motorhome / campervan. We have to take the mirrors and top box off to get scooter into garage, there is about 4" clear between top of screen and door opening.
We would love a larger screen, which I am sure would give us a little more comfort to the wind at 50mph and above, but it would have to clip on / off or be easy to remove every time we put scooter in garage. Many thanks in advance.

I dont know of any that clip on or off, though the process of switching from stock to my Givi took all of 15 to 20 minutes to complete.

The process is quick, if you have the tools ready it can be done in 2 minutes.(10mm socket, Phillips screwdriver, small pry device)
Practice makes perfect... :lol:

That one front panel comes off easily by hand. Agreed a 2-3 min job.

I think that if you take it off and put it on too many times you may strip the screws eventually.

Thanks for the replies to date. A 2 min job, even 5mins would be acceptable. Bit worried about doing any long term damage, is striping screws a big concern, are they special screws / non-replacable?
Does the front panel have to be refitted when using the new screen or is it only required for the supplied screen?

I don't know about other wind screens, I've taken the stock wind screen on and off many times.
the 4 bolts that hold it on are very common "m6" bolts(10mm head).
the small "front panel" (2 phillip screws and 2 tabs) might wear out over time, they can be bought for not much $, but I would not worry about the 4 bolts...

By the way i'm not even using a windscreen now o_O just the front panel and the dash cover... :lol: 8)
