Tip:

Sun visors and wind wings are particularly prone to vibrating loose. Drop of loctite on setscrew holds it in place. Replaced nuts and screws with stainless capscrews and stainless locknuts. Keeps correct tension, and doesn't vibrate lose.

When I replaced windshield, the frame I was replacing had a brass strip that held the screws to the uprights. New frame had screws directly into frame with longer mounting depth. Problem is, wind wing mounting block angle changed from slightly angled, to square, and blocks no longer fit.

These blocks are 1/2" x 1/2" x 3/4". Had to buy a 6' long piece of 1/2" square aluminum to make 4 ea., 3/4" long pieces. Have some extra if anybody else needs some.
