I feel kinda stupid posting these questions - but I am at wits end here trying to find a solution without causing more damage.
Ok - so I have been dealing with windshield problems ever since I got my BackDraft.
In the first month the windshield split right down the middle. Backdraft warranty was great and they sent me a new one. In trying to install the glass I was not able to make it look perfect since I was reusing the rubber grommits / seals.
In talking with the guys at Backdraft I decided to buy their Chrome over brass windshield. Well I got it installed and it looks great. Much nicer than the stock aluminum one that came with it.
But I have not ran into some problems.
Wind Wings - The screws used to hold the frame in place do not go straight in. They go in on an angle which makes reinstalling the side mirror and windwings impossible. I even bought some glass wind wings from finishline and all the hardware. None of it will work. Here are some pictures. Any suggestions?
It is almost as if I need to cut the bracket on an angle to make it work. Or get something that would shim it - but that does not seem right.
Sun Visors. - One the new windshield - there are 4 pairs of pre drilled and treaded holes. The sun visors on the old windshield use one screw which is much larger than the new holes - so again I ordered a whole new set from finish line. From the pictures on finish line it looked like the brackets used the same twin screw mounting - but the holes don't match up. On the finish line bracket the spacing is larger than what it on the windshield.
I supposed I could just use one small screw but it seems like if there are two holes side by side there should be a bracket available that would work.
