Step One

INSTALL WINDSHIELD RETAINER

Place the Windshield Retainer assembly on top of the bulb seal along the top of the Windshield.

Locate the two J-Hook Brackets in the parts kit. Orient a bracket with the hook toward the front and the threaded insert toward the top. Slide the bracket into one of the J-Hook Bracket Bases mounted to the Windshield Retainer and catch the hook in the slot in the windshield. Insert a 5/16 x 1-1/4" Bolt and a 5/16" Washer from the top of the base into the J-Hook Bracket to secure the bracket to the base. Repeat this on the other side of the vehicle.
