67.5 upper windshield corner installation

Post by Habitat.pat »

I'm hoping someone has an easy way to install the upper corner windshield trim on a 67.5. I don't see an easy way to do it, especially now that the windshield is assembled and installed.

Pat, Just did mine last week! At first I thought of leaving them off... doesn't look too bad but not right. Then I thought about cutting tabs off and gluing the corners on.... again not right. Unfortunately You will have to remove windshield. What I did was to take the 4 screws out and just move the frame away slightly without completely removing from windshield (might try just loosening screws as far as possible without removing) and then took an exacto knife and just trimmed the raised lip of the new moulding (not part against windshield) so the tabs could slip in easier between moulding and frame. Slip the trim piece in (use soapy water) and over the top rail and slowly tighten screws up while working the trim over the corner of side rail. A real pain but doable! Good luck!

All trim should be in place before installing it in Frame .
