Fig. 1 Conversion kit contents.
CAUTION: Before removing the rear back panel be sure to remove any loose materials out of the rebox area. To remove
the rear back panel and convert replace into a see-through, perform the following steps beginning on page 3.
Tools Needed: Phillips screwdriver or power screwdriver (to install glass holders and hood); 1/4” hex head tip or 1/4” nut
driver (to remove rear panel from replace); pair of gloves to protect hands from any sharp metal edges

Step 1: REMOVING BACK REAR PANEL
Look at the back side of the replace. Around the outer perimeter area of the back wall are several 1/4” hex head screws
that must be removed (See the shaded area in Fig. 2). Only remove the top and bottom screws on the rear panel. The
nailing ange will remain in place. The back wall panel will remain in one piece. CAUTION: Watch for sharp edges.
Note: The numbers of screws to remove will vary with each replace model. The back panel will not be used again.
Discard back panel and replace the screws previously removed.

Step 2: INSTALLING HOOD
The replace requires a hood to be installed into each side of the rebox. One hood would have come with the single
sided replace, the other hood is supplied with this kit. All models require ve (5) screws (#77129) to secure the hood
to the replace except the 72-inch model, which uses seven (7) screws to secure the hood. The hood protrudes outward
1-inch from the top opening of the replace. Fig. 3 shows hole location and installation process for hood installation. The
protruding area of the hood is angled downward to deect heat away, see Hood Detail below.

Step 3: INSTALLING GLASS HOLDERS
Install the #76124 (glass holder - left) using two pan head
Phillips screws supplied with the kit.
Align and insert the screw through the glass holder as
shown in Fig. 4. Each screw will thread into the rivet-nut in
the inner side panel of the replace.
Install the #76119 (glass holder - right) in the same manner
on the right side.
Note: Glass holders are designed to hide the screw heads
when installed.

Step 4: WINDSHIELD INSTALLATION
The glass windshield slides into each glass holder, at the
same time, on each end of the replace and rest in position
as shown in Fig. 5. The glass will rest on the bottom tab of
each windshield glass holder.
Note: There is only one glass windshield provided with this
kit, the other windshield comes with the replace.
CAUTION: THIS IS TEMPERED GLASS. DO NOT CHIP
