Am restoring an 18' walk thru. 1981 Sea Ray with 3.8 OMC.
I have removed carpeting and floorboards now an trying to remove windshield. Have removed top frame of side window and the glass. Then removed the rubber strip/seal and I see no screw heads! I also see no nuts under the fiberglass only the threaded end of screws!.........................
OK now how is the bottom frame piece held on?? How do I remove it?

My windshield is held on by long bolts on the bottom frame and go down through the consoles and sides. Never heard of anyone taking apart the whole windshield.

The bolts (bolt heads) are usually in slots located in the aluminum frame. Look under the console for the nuts.

OK GUYS BOTH OF YOU SAID LOOKS FOR THE NUTS!!
THERE ARE NO NUTS!!!!!
When I check undeneath the console all I see is the threaeded ends of wood screws as I said in my post! That is why I am crying for help on this.
I removed the top frame, the glass and then the rubber seal and there are no screw head visible! Yet it is fastened to the rail!
