[Tigers] Windshield rubber replacement.

[Tom Parker]

Stu,   Regarding the center bolt, if you have the clock installed, remove
it (temporarily). If you have a radio installed, drop it to the hump and
move it to one side (or the other, doesn't matter). Easier if you pull the
seats (yeah, both of 'em.) You'll see the bolt hidden above the blower. But
you can get your hands on it (and, of course, a socket.) As to the other
inside ones, a universal joint on an extension will reach them. So all
that's left are the four at the outside ends. Easy. GET Tom Hall's
adjusters if you don't have them. Rick carries them, WS58, P.20 in the new
catalog. It makes the windshield angle a snap. The bold size is 7/16".
