Is there adjustment in the top latches?

Post by jamie mccormick »

Just swapped out complete windshield and frame on 80 Spider :) .Now dr side top latch does not want to fit into receiver on top of windshield frame its out enough that I can't force it into place(off to the side).So does any body know if there any adjustment I can make.All else seems to fit well .Thanks

if you just loosen those clamps by loosening the phillips screws, there is some side to side play. might be enough play to make the adjustment.

would be better than removing both sides and reinstalling them both, especially when one side sounds like it is working just fine.

also, if you are interested, i may have some other clamps from the parts car available.
