Oops ....center windshield surprise........

[bgreene]

Sunday - time to repair the center swing out windshield section.
Missing lower hinge spacer, and missing wire section.

Found the right gauge, thread and tapped gently in, and wire hinge fixed.
Fabricated a new spacer, and window fixed.

But wait.....screwing the 2nd stainless screw into the spacer and POP, the windshield shatters. Screw dug right up against the glass. Nice how perfectly uniform it shattered too - that's safety glass at work.

Getting a new glass installed, and this time a shorter screw and should be good as new
( likely better )

Two steps forward, one back. That's boating.
