Windshield Fitting - 10 hours (448 Total)

Over the course of two days I fitted, refitted, and fitted again, the windshield. Trying to get the windshield to line up on all sides was a challenge. The problem points were on the upper edge where the windshield will meet the door and where the windshield slips underneath the upper left sheet metal enclosure. I think it would have been easier if the windshield was slightly larger in one of these places. I could have then trimmed off the excess.

Once I positioned the windshield in the best position I could, I drilled the rivet holes and marked the areas I needed to trim. The edge near the door frame doesn't extend out as much as I would have liked but we'll see what it looks like when I get the door installed.
