Just did the same type fix on my buddys kencraft "challenger" we used the small black washers from home depot in the plumbing section. They don't feel Luke the quite a rubber material there stiffer. They worked perfect. Just an idea.

Just be careful when mounting your windshield. Too much torque and you'll crack the Plexiglas around the mounting hole like we see in the first picture. Whenever I've had to mount plexi to anything I prefer a softer material (like hard rubber) that has a certain amount of "give" for just that reason.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
