 DEALER

These instructions contain important information for future reference and must be given to the customer at time of purchase or upon completion of installation. 

1. Installation 

a) Find a clean flat area where you can safely lay down the windshield

(Item A).  Partially remove the protective film on both sides and apply

the co-extruded bulb seal (Item B) to the lower lip using manual pressure

to ensure good adhesion to the windshield and cut any excess. 

IMPORTANT NOTICES

                                                 Over-tightening any and/or all screws will cause cracks around mounting holes which is not covered by any

                                                                                                                               warranty

b) Partially remove the protective film on both sides and attach pivot components (Item E & F) to the windshield using supplied hardware (Item D) as shown.  All screws that are passing through the windshield will be tightened later in step d).   Do not over-tighten the screws that combine the slide arm with the lower pivot, those 2 parts need to swivel. 

c) Attach clamps (Item C) to the roll cage of your vehicle using supplied hardware (Item D) as shown.  The clamp sets must be installed with the threaded inserts aligned from right to left of the roll cage.  Tighten only the 4 socket cap screws M6 x 45.  Do not tighten the clamps to the roll cage at this stage; you will need to make adjustments later on. 

IMPORTANT NOTICES

                                                                           Torque specifications must be followed when tightening bolts.

IMPORTANT NOTICES 

                                                            To prevent any parts failure during installation and/or removal, the upper windshield must ALWAYS be

                                                           properly supported by TWO people, one on each side, with one hand located on the lower edge and the other

                                                                                                                 by the upper pivot. 

                                           One person alone CANNOT install and/or remove the upper windshield without over-flexing and stressing

                                                 the material.  This action may cause breakage and/or cracks to the windshield.

                                                                                                  This is not covered by any warranty.

upper pivot to slide to the end onto the upper pivot cylinder adaptor. 

4. Lower the windshield as per drawing #3 and the upper pivot will catch the second upper

pivot cylinder adaptor.

position.  Note that there are 3 pre-determined positions on the slide arm; closed, half-opened

and fully-extended
