Windshield Question

[elgecko]

On the subject of windshields...Clois, I just cut one out of Lexan MR10 and still have an extra piece 1/4"x 20"x54" any takers over there in OK.
No, it's not free
Like they said above, it's really not a hard job just reuse your original screws and do not use any longer ones that would touch glass!

spo1715,
when i got #1739 this semptember the windsheild was also broken,the old owner agreed to pay.one problem, no one wanted to do the glass in frame install at a reasonable price.the solution wound up being me doing it myself.i got the glass from snakepit-a nearby spf dealer ($250.00), not a very difficult job, just a little patience needed.removed frame & brakets from vehicle.removed all screws from frame,(very important to mark every screws position). if you need more info,e-mail me.

p.s - i would assume that you have the newer style windsheild,since my #1739 was.

Speaking of windshields, I just bought a used SPF (1988), and it recently had a new windshield installed. This thing has a very annoying rattle when you get to speeds in excess of 40 MPH. Please tell me this is not normal. I can't stand alot of rattles, and the only other rattle is from the chrome fire extinguisher, which is an easy fix. Any help would be appreciated. I am thinking I may have to pull this windshield apart...

ROMM....If your windshield rattles and your side support brackets are tight to the frame, check the 4 mounting screws throught the side bracket....my culpret was the center support bracket, not wanting to over tighten the 4mm machine screws, two in the windshield and two in the cowl.. I removed the bracket and enlarged the holes a bit..squeek and rattle are gone.

So where is the center support bracket? I am guessing it is only accessible under the hood? Thanks for the help.
