Reinstal windshield question
Written by douglasvanb on 10/23/2010 at 02:49 pm

Stan,

FWIW, it's been four or five months since the last time I removed my windshield
but if memory serves, I put those washer/rivet things underneath the metal
strip. That means they only go through the windshield and rubber.

Cheers,

Douglas

but they won't fit.. The are shaped as a rivit or a grommet with one flat side
and the other side has a protubrence.. ( Hopefull I'm describing so that you
understand what I'm saying)

These are just started into their holes so the whole thing fits loosely. The
windshield can now be placed behind the strip, and it will hang on those two
bolts. The two middle bolts on the sides are the hardest to start as the metal
piece has to be flattened out and alligned. I usually start the front bolt
loosely, and then catch these two. You may have to press on the metal strip to
flatten it to get it in line. The clearview should have longer bolts than stock.
