84 sunhatch How does windshield attach to hull

[santuitman01]

Hello all
I've just purchased an 84 Wellcraft Sunhatch and the left windshield is loose where it mounts to the deck. It looks like you need to remove the glass and then there is a screw through thr frame into the deck. Can anybody verify this for me?
Thanks
Brian

In case anyone else needs to know some day...
There is a black hard plastic trim strip on the outside of the bottom aluminum channel. If you remove that strip (mine was quite brittle and tucked under at each end) ther will be oval panhead screws. Mine were #6x1" and all but one were broken off into the deck. I drilled new holes in the aluminum channel near the old screws and pilot hole into the 'glass and it appears to be fine.
Hopefully this will help the next person

You just saved me some time. I have the same problem with a different model.

Thank you Brian!!
