How do I square up center walk through windshield?

[imported_walleyeman]

The center walk through windshield is not square when closed. The top portion is sagging down. Is there a way to square it back up? It is on a Lund 1600 Prosport (2005).

Thanks

Yes it does, one on either side of the center walk through. (going from the top of the dash to near the top of the windshield. By looking at them, they don't seem to adjust, but wouldn't they just adjust or keep the angle of the windshield and not raise or lower it off the dash?

My center walk through has sagged almost like the hinge has been bent so that the top of the door does not fit flush with the top of the windshield when closed.

What supports the console that the windshield sits on? Take a few photos.... it is an indicator that there may be a problem. One console may have sagged down a bit. A tiny sag at the bottom is multiplied at the top..... so a simple 1/8" drop at the bottom could throw you off an inch at the top.

Check the second pic of this restoration thread, and hope this is not your case.

I do wish your problem is minor and you don't have to strip the deck and stringers to fix this

Sometimes that sagging can be the result of the hull spreading a bit at the bow, due to wave action or just wear and tear. I ended up rivoting a piece of flat aluminum to the operating pane of the windshield to make it a bt longer and keep it from falling thru during operation.
