Closing Windshield

klattu · 05-13-2012, 04:58 PM

Anyone have this problem?
Center windshield is too tight when closed, need to hit it to fit in opening.

What did you do to make better?

I put a jack between the walls, and spread them enought to let window close easy, a little more since it will spring back in a few days, I think.
Maybe best to leave it like this all winter next year.

Take the foam strip out, loosen off the screws, move the windshield a bit, tighten the screws & put the foam back in place.

Which foam strip do you take out. Mine is doing the same thing?

The foam strip under the glass on the outside of the boat.

Me personally no i haven't but a few others have. Usually its the result of a bad ground. Replacement units are available. Check our Vendors List.

I had this problem when I first purchased my boat. The center windshield would ride above the opposite side windshield. I removed the black rubber, pulled the screws that attach the windshield to the fiberglass and moved the windshield out on the starboard side. I re-screwed the windshield down and it fits perfectly. I do have a couple of holes visible from the inside, I just haven't chosen to refill them. It really wasn't too bad a job.
