Tightening a loose wind/side shield

[Roman S]

HI,
I have a 1987 Regal 233xl. Over the years the side windshields have gotten a bit loose. They wobble, a little.
Is there a way to tighten them from the bottom, or do I need to take off the top, remove the glass and tighten from the top.
Thanks Roman

remove the rubber trim, should be screws or bolts under it. then reinstall the rubber.

Many windshield assys, bolt thru the deck using studs attached to the lower rail. You might want to look under the gunwales before you start tearing things apart.

I know of two different examples that are constructed that way. They are both older boats with more conventional front and side window assys (still w/ opening ctr panels tho) than some of the newer boats. They may have changed the method of attachment.
