1.

 

Install the mounting plates on the windshield using the bolts that are pre-assembled on the mounting plates. The rubber 
grommets should be inserted through the holes in the windshield so that the flat round washer part of the grommet lays 
flat on each side of the windshield. On each plate, get both started before you tighten either. (See Figure 1.1 & 1.2)                            

 
2.

 

Loosen the four bolts that are to hold the windshield to the mounting brackets, and slide the mounting plates onto the 
brackets. (See figure 2)

Adjust the height, angle, and alignment of the shield and tighten down the bolts that hold the windshield to the plates, 
then the bolts that hold the plates to the brackets.
