As above , the rubber that surrounds the windscreen is a bit tatty , to best describe it , it sits round the outside of the screen and covers a bit of body work , it’s not stuck to the body work it just lays on it but it appears joined to the screen or the screens trim ? , can it be taken off without removing the screen or is it a screen out job , cheers for any replies

Its a screen out job. When you remove the screen be careful not to damage the wires that heat the screen below the wipers.

I have the same problem with the rubber not lying properly on the body. I think its because either the rubber or screen is from an XT and the FSTI screen is subtly different.

Edit: Although I may be completely wrong on that text

Hi , i ordered the rubber on the hope it could be changed , and then found out it’s a screen out job as you said , so won’t be doing it , it’s a shame as rubber is perished in some parts , i expect too much hot weather in japan , i was thinking of cutting rubber and sticking it down but i don’t think it would work and look ok
