Re: Got My Wind Screen from Germany Yesterday
buckeyedad42,
I have the Crossfire Mopar Lexan Windscreen and 4 page Installation Instructions in front of me. (There are no words, just diagrams.) The "stabilizers" are very complex, belt-like structures that go through 2 vertical slots each at the side edges of the windscreen. There is a velcro strap at the back of each for quick release from the roll bars. A plastic base that is fitted to the shape of this center area between the rollbars, holds the lower edge of the windscreen snugly. This requires 4 holes to be drilled into the center area between the rollbars. 4 expanders are included for the screws. After installation, this base remains in place and the windscreen itself easily pops out when the 2 velcro straps are released. They even include a black, fitted, zippered carrying case to hold the windscreen when you don't need it in place. I would guess that fastening it in place and removal should take no more than 10 seconds each. Since the base has 4 slots already present for the screw holes, you really can't mess up the installation. The 2 umbrella holder screws are not involved in this installation at all. I believe that this windscreen will look very attractive after installation, nicer than the Mercedes ones that I have seen. Also, I don't see how any vibration will be present while driving!
The screw holes must be 6.1mm so I will let my Crossfire mechanic install it. I don't have any way to scan this 4 page folder with each page measuring about 8 1/2 X 12 inches.
