SUNVISORS
(Pre-installed) With a small stiff wire, clean out the holes
tapped in the upper windshield frame.
Push the wire to the bottom of the hole and mark where it
is flush with the windshield frame surface. Check each
hole to make sure they are all the same.
Check the hole depth against the length of the chrome 6-32
oval head screws used to attach the angle brackets to the
windshield frame. Shorten the screws if necessary.
If the
screw hits the glass, the windshield will crack! Double
Check.
Attach the angle brackets to the windshield.
Loosen the sunvisor mounting block set screws. Slip the
blocks onto the angle brackets and tighten the set screws.

WINDSHIELD
Slip the aluminum trim plates onto the windshield posts
with the convex side up and the screw holes to the outside.
Fill the underside of the trim plates with sealer or ribbon-
type caulk to make a water tight seal between windshield
post and body.
Lower the windshield into place. Replace any shims
between the posts and the chassis and install the large flat
washers, lock washers and bolts. If you are going to use
side curtains, leave the bolts loose to adjust the windshield
rake to match the front edge of the curtains:

WITH SIDE CURTAINS
See curtain installation on page 141. Angle the windshield
back so that the front edge of the side curtains slip inside the
windshield posts and are parallel with the windshield. See
the illustration on page 109.
Tighten the outside mounting bolts and fasten the center
bracket with two #8 self-tapping screws.
Trim the bottom channel gasket at both ends as shown.
