I recently "acquired" a 1986 19' Thompson open bow that has a 3-piece front windshield. It seems to have come loose from normal boating, pounding waves, etc. I've looked underneath the dash(es) in order to find out how the two side piece mount to the fiberglass console / dashes but cannot find where / how it mounts.

Does anyone have experience with this type of windshield?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank You.

Re: Loose Windshield

i dont know about yours but on our searay there is a black plastic strip that snaps into trough around the bottom outside of the windshield. you snap this out and the there are screws that you can tighten.
on ours this strip is hard and seemed like it could be broken with out to much force. i sprayed it with WD 40 and it came out and back with no trouble
