Answer
Hi Jim.  

Before you start, please disconnect the battery and remove the sun visors.

I confirm that you only need to move the fascia sufficiently to gain access to the 4 bolts that hold the windscreen pillars to the A posts.  

Undo the 2 bolts that hold the mirror stay wire to the body.

Undo the 2 nuts and 4 bolts that hold the windscreen side pillars to the A posts.

Remove the shims between the side pillars and the A posts.

You can now lift the windscreen assembly from the car.

By the way, when re-fitting the assembly, please make sure the hood fits correctly before tightening the 4 bolts.
