Hello everyone,<br /><br />I bought a used 1983 bowrider and I am in the middle of a complete restoration process. I am almost ready for the final prep for paint. Most of omy hardware has been removed escept for.....yes my windshield. I have no clue where to look to start removing it. If any of you guys can help me out I would appreciate it.<br /><br />Thanks

Re: Windshield removal

Without knowing what kind of boat you have I'll take a shot. Check the aluminum frame for plastic trim inserts, its usually under this trim where you find the screws that attach the windshield.

Re: Windshield removal

The windshield on my tri-hull has glass in an aluminum frame, i found nuts underneath the helm and side. though ine were badly corroded and had to be sheard off it's not hard to switch then as they slide right out and new ones can be put in. The Scrumbler is right though, a picture sure would help.
