Installed my windshield today

...and took pics. It was a piece of cake and took less than a few hours. The hardest part was having the balls to drill into that beeotch....Leap of faith!!! :D:drink:
I did take the headliner out in the cabin just to see where the holes where...and to decide on whether or not to thru-bolt the bracket or not. I ended up just using screws and coating the deck to bracket surface with a skimcoat of 4200. I think that it turned out well. I don't really like the fact that the orange stripe that runs up the deck and onto the dash is now interupted, but may get a painter to freehand the stripe on the front part of the windshield. The windshield kit came off of a 93 Top Gun that a friend used to own. I got the bracket powdercoated. It fit like a glove on my '88. I tried to take pictures of every step..........pretty much a simple job. Pics to follow..... Craig |

Before shots with the flaps...

Pulled the old flaps off, cleaned it up, taped it up and drilled the center hole. Then I put the one screw in the bracket and marked the other holes and drilled 'em up.

Filled all of the holes with 4200, put a little on the deck and a skim coat on the bracket.....and put in the screws. The vinyl insert fits right in there to cover up the screw heads.

The last step was to put some white plastic grommets/sleeves into the windshield and then screw it to the bracket. I used allen-head machine screws. Done!

Hopefully I can find someone to match the color and paint this part of the windshield. I think that will complete it and look very nice.

looks very good...

Looks good, I agree on the stripe. Now I see the advantage of a full cover versus mine locked in til spring with shrink wrap.
