7. WINDSHIELD
7.1 See fig. 7.1. Have the following items ready: four
5/16-18 x 1 3/4” long flat head bolts, 4 steel washers, 4
locknuts, and 2 plastic spacer blocks. With assistance,
install the windshield hinges to the windshield support
with the two spacer blocks between the hinge and the
windshield support. Attach windshield latches to wind-
shield latch receivers on the cowl by squeezing tabs to
retract spring loaded pins. See fig. 7.1.1. Lift up on bot-
tom of windshield and close latches. Check alignment of
windshield with side frames and tighten hinge hardware.
CAUTION: hinges are plastic components. Do not
overtighten hardware. Torque to 7 foot-pounds max..
Also tighten windshield support bolts (from Step 6).
8. ROOF
8.1 Use a Phillips head screwdriver to punch a hole
through the headliner at any of the covered bolt hole lo-
cations. Punch holes from the inside out to avoid having
the headliner pull away from its glued surface.
8.2 Install the roof oriented so the reflectors are towards
the rear of the vehicle. Use the following hardware in the
front corners: one 5/16-18 x 1” long button head bolt,
two steel washers, one nylon washer, and one locknut
(locknuts on the inside surface). Install the bolt through
the roof, windshield support, and mounting tab. See the
helpful hints section on page two for placement of nylon
washers. See figure 8.2
8.3 The middle and rear bolt location on both the left
and right sides uses the following hardware per side: two
5/16-18 x 3/4” long button head bolts, two steel washers,
and two nylon washers. These two bolts are installed into
factory installed threaded inserts in the top of each side
frame. NOTE: use caution to avoid damaging the inter-
nal threads on the factory installed threaded inserts.
8.4 The remaining two holes each use the following
hardware: 5/16-18 x 3/4” long button head bolt, 2 steel
washers, 1 nylon washers, and 1 locknut. Locknuts to be
on the inside surface.
8.5 Make sure the slots in the side frame are centered on
the 2 front corner bolts and tighten them at this time.
Tighten remaining roof bolts.
