Default Re: Pulling tsunami windshield frame

Tackled it and it was straight forward....I see a method now. There are five frames....two side frames, center frame with door, and the helm side and passenger side frames. All the frames on the front have three studs in slots along the bottom with nuts accessible in the cabin. The side frames each have four studs in slots along the bottom with one nut accessible in the cabin and three under the gunnel. Oil them before trying to remove them. Each end of the helm and passenger frames have a tube the slides into a channel on the center and side frames. So these should be left in place and remove the nuts from the center and side frames. These then slide up and off the tubes on the ends of the helm and passenger frames.

The forward frames loose will lift up...I should have left the passenger and helm frames bolted down.

The side window frame...

The joint where the side frame slides up and off.....

And the center joint where the center section slides up and off....

Putting it back in should be easy enough....the studs along the bottom are in channels and will slide if left loose...so looks like the helm and passenger frames would go in, then the center frame, then the side frames. The studs can slide to align with the holes.
