    Can someone tell me the best way to adjust the windshield for optimal fit against the frame? I just got the regulator and upper latches installed.

    memory says that some screws ran through slots with caged nuts on the back, there was some adjustment there...
     
  3. Sloppy Jalopies is right. The only adjustment is where the hinges mount to the body. They leaked some when they were new. Just make sure the gasket is in good shape. The hinges attach to the body with caged nuts on the back side. If you need to, you can shim under the hinges with a thin washer or two to pull it in tighter on one side if you need to. Otherwise the only adjustment is up and down. Make sure your regulator is good so it pulls it in tight at the bottom, a lot of the regs have a tooth or two broken off on the gear and won't pull up tight.
