If your vehicle currently
has a windshield retainer,
it must be removed and
replaced with the enclosed windshield retainer.
A loose windshield retainer may allow the top to dis-
engage from the windshield, causing damage to the
top and possible injury to the occupants of the vehicle.
Make certain that the windshield retainer is securely
fastened to the windshield at the time of fi rst instal-
lation. Check the tightness of the mounting screws
every three months. Do not over-tighten.
Center the Windshield Retainers on top of the wind-
shield frame and butt the retainers up against the
top lip of the windshield frame. Use the retainers
as a template to mark, center punch and drill nine
1/8 inch holes.Use nine #8 x 1/2 Pan Head Washer
Screws.
Drill one 1/8 inch hole between the two
halves of the retainer.
There may be existing holes on some vehicles that
may interfere with the holes in the new windshield
retainers. If so, it may be necessary to drill the
retainer holes off to one side.
