Cheers guys, that's what I looked for and there is no cut out at all under the grip which I though was really wierd? Anyway I managed to yank it off in the end and whilst doing so, put my elbow through the windscreen! Lol, autoglass recieved a call shortly afterwards and I was told that replacement screen can't be done in the evenings so have to wait untill tomoro where my wallet will be £75 lighter, kind of a blessing in disguise really because the screen was scratched by the wipers over the years and has been driving me nuts!!
Cheers for the replies guys
Matt
