yeah and its more trouble than its worth! a working crank out doesnt exist without being rebuilt, and rebuilding one costs a ton, and the windshield frame costs another ton.

once when I was driving and enjoying the breeze I watched a yellow jacket bounce off the hood, come in the open gap, get blown up and hit the windshield header then fall on my shirt! I pulled over carefully and shook him loose just as he was getting his bearings back, buzzing angrily.


I think when I do the last 41 I have in the back I will just buy a 47-53 gasket, weld in a perimeter lip and center bar, and make it solidly mounted.
