MIKE, I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I THINK YOU SHOULD WELD THE BRACKET ON AND USE THE SPACERS. I WOULD NOT PUT ANY STRAIN ON THE WINDSHIELD. GET SOMEONE TO HELP PUSH THE WS DOWN IN THE CENTER SO YOU GET A GOOD SEAL AGAINST THE BODY. I CLAMPED THE WS ARMS TO THE MOUNTING BRACKET AND DRILLED 5/16" HOLES THROUGH BOTH, SO I WOULD NOT HAVE ANY MOVEMENT. I GOT A VERY GOOD SEAL ACROSS THE BODY TO WINSHIELD . STRAIN ON THE WINDSHIELD FRAME HAS BROKE SEVERAL WINDSHIELDS. BE CAREFUL.
