Walk thru windshield

[squeeg333]

I was curious if any of you have had any problems with the walk thru part of the windshield. I'm not sure if it was something the previous owners did to it, or what, but the pins in the hinges are quite loose, and the walk thru actually "falls" down a bit, out of line with the rest of the upper oprtion of the windshield. I can pull it back up, and push the pins back in, but over time and vibration, it just goes back.

I'm trying to figure out how to repair/replace these hinges so that it keeps the window where it's supposed to be. Any ideas?

I recently removed the center window off my windshield, the pins have little rubber O Rings on them to help seal them i expect. You can try replacing these O rings and see if that helps as a start.

That's not a bad idea. The extra grip from new o-rings might keep the pin from sliding down.

Cant speak on that right now. Next Tuesday i will post what i have done recently that required that task.

I smell a tint job or something.

Personally think Mike ordered that cannon and is having it mounted on the bow--windshield had to be removed due to recoil

Well then, he'll need to install a plank off the stern so he can send any unruly dogs to the depths to meet old Davy Jones.

I would think if you repositioned it, braced the bottom of the pin, and hit the top of the pin a couple of times with a center punch and a hammer it would probably stay put. Just enoguh to expand the top end to keep it from sliding...

That's not bad advice either. Something satisfying about hitting her with a hammer.
