Changing The Can-Am Spyder RT Windshield
2 of 3
Step 4:
Lay windshield on large flat surface. You will see
metal spacers inside the rubber mounting
grommets. Remove these by pushing out of
grommet with a round object (a #3 Phillips
screwdriver is perfect for the job). Carefully remove
the rubber mounting grommets from the shield by
slowly working them out of the holes in the shield.
Step 5:
Lay new shield on large flat surface. Slowly work rubber grommets into mounting holes in new
windshield. Be patient, these can be challenging at times. Once the rubber grommet is in place, push
the metal spacer into the rubber grommet. Once you have completed all four, you are ready for your
helper again.
INSTALLING NEW SHIELD
IF YOU HAVE HANDLED THE SHIELD AND HAVE FINGERPRINTS ON IT, BE SURE TO CLEAN
THE AREA THAT WILL BE BEHIND THE MOUNTING BRACKET.
Step 6:
Hold the new shield up to the mounting bracket, moving
slowly in order that the new shield (the glass itself) does not
contact the metal bracket. Align the mounting holes and
install the mounting bolts using care not to cross thread the
bolts. Tighten snugly but do not overtighten.
