Good morning all. I was wondering if anyone has a link on how to correctly install the wind screen on the roll bar ? Thanks

method

no video or link from me. My BetaMax is still flashing 12:00.
With roll bar up ( engine on, press toggle switch on panel, below radio. )
the flange extension, (two long, near the curved part of the metal frame, two short near the widest edge and hinged side of the two screened parts) on the hinged screen is on the steering wheel side of the leather wrapped roll bar. The widest part of the frame is near the front seat /head rest area. the frame slides up with the long flanges clipping over the highest part of the roll bar. The elastic band and clip go around the outside of the bar and snap in on the underside ( or inside). The pressure to place the screen is light the snap connector may be more pressure. The snap has two finger clasps on the sides. NO HAMMER required

Tilt up the roll bar about 45 degrees, place the windscreen from above to fit snug, then clip the two nylon straps with clips around the rollbar making sure the locks click, then lower the roll bar, and you are done. w/ smiles Jimmy

Everyone got them free after 1992, but some don't even know they are hidden in the boot behind the panel.
