Problems closing the windshield? Sometimes that is an indicator that the support of the deck is sagging too Check the deck carefully. There are adjustable support bars that can be ordered. I made my own from solid aluminum rectangular stock and they work fine.

Here is an adjustable pair http://greatlakesskipper.com/produc...-custom-windshield-support-brackets-pair.html

Re: Windshield support bars

You can allways " shim " the current supports with washers or small squares of starboard..or whatever shim you can put in there ( rubber gasket material ) to make your lift on the shield better..

Your going to have to do that anyways..to make sure your fit is right on an " ordered " prefit support.

I would not go the adjustable route..measure....fit..measure and final install.

If you know what I mean..
