Hi All,

When I have the windshield out, it starts to vibrate and very annoying. I isolated it down to where the screw goes through adj. arm into the windshield frame. I would like to put a lock washer there is possible. Does anyone have a listing of the hardware that goes there? Or know where I can get one.

Thanks,

Mike

Thin wave washers work well there & are almost invisible.

Hi Mike...........let us know how you make out. I have the same issues and bought the parts and pieces and they did not work. In my case the wooden header is shot and the windshield frame screws are loose. One day I will do a band aide repair but a new header is probably in order and no small task.

Maybe doubling up those washers?

A friend had a questionable wood header, at the top of the windshield, he injected Foaming Gorilla Glue into the screw holes with a syringe & drove in common SCREW NAILS & it stayed tight & didn't RATTLE.
