Now that both strikers are engaged in the Strike
Plates, by loosening the two set screws shown above
in the Brace Mounting Block the cable length can be
changed so that the strikers bottom out in the Strike
Plates without having any excess length that would
make closing the windshield difficult. If there was not
enough length originally, when you loosen the screws
above, the strikers should then bottom out in the
Strike Plates (you may have to compress the gasket
near the strike plates by hand to facilitate this) Pull on
the cut end of the cable to remove any slack and then
re-tighten the screw. Repeat for other cable.
Press the bottom corners of the windshield in gently to
latch the strikers in the Strike Plates.
*do not slam the
windshield closed yet *
it isn’t aligned yet and it may
damage the End Mounting Blocks and/or Strike
Plates. Once both strikers are latched in the Strike
Plates you can move to the next step.

Twist the T Handle to open the windshield and lift it
until it is parallel with the ground. Have a helper (or
stick) hold the windshield in this position. You will
need it to be open while you do the next few steps.

Check the alignment of the windshield. These two
bolts
on either side of the windshield can be loosened
to allow for adjustment of the windshield alignment.
Use a rubber mallet to tap them and align the
windshield. Once aligned, tighten all bolts.
