A great thing about 200-400VR is a clear flat glass lens protector, like a UV filter that screws over the front element. I am thinking of one for the 300f2.8 but I see it has a "protective meniscus front element" However it did not protect mine from all sorts cleaned off each evening the past week.
Does anyone know how a meniscus front element is protective and can it be removed or renewed?

It is a protective plain optical glass cover over the front element of the lens, it can be replaced by Nikon at great expense. I knew someone who had a similar lens protective element replaced some years ago, it cost more than £120 then!
