[Tigers] Windshield lower trim strip

[Ron Fraser]

Stu
	The last time I did the windscreen on a hardtop - I put everything together 1st then installed it on the hardtop - this worked wonderfully; much easier than the 1st hardtop I worked on which turned into a most of the day project and finger numbing exercise.

I'm thinking the same is true with the windshield.   It is very possible that loosening the frame a little will allow you to insert the lower strip but I don't know.

Good luck
Ron Fraser

Stu,
Yes, just give up and take it off, you know how to do it!
It will be easier next time (you already solved the tilt and hole cutting problems I assume) You might just have to loosen it and lift it up a little?   I have done at least two windshields over the years and I can't remember how I did it but at least after a while you forget what a pain it was  :) Gary
