December 2, 2016 – Racing against mother nature, I got the windshield installed. Today will be the last day that might be warm enough to get this done.

Just like on the slider portion of the canopy, I masked off the structure where sealant will be.

I applied the Sikaflex Aktivator, then the primer to all surfaces.

My friend Jay came over to help me with clamping the sides of the windshield, and we got after it.

I needed to pull the center of the windshield down because the clamping force on the sides lifted the center. We taped one of the tires in place.

I let it sit overnight, then pulled clamps and cleaned up the sealant. I’m leaving the side clamps on probably until tomorrow just to make sure it holds. I’ll also pull the rest of the tape after that.
