They have a U shaped gasket down each edge of the glass then the aluminum center piece,outside and inside is thru bolted. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

I have removed material from the ends on single plane windshields. I really like the look of the aluminum strip in the center. It gives it "that look". Nice Job.

Nice Job.

with the dual curvature of the "corvette" style windshield it HAD to come dead out of the center or the contours would be off.

thanks for all of the kind words guys !!
trying to do this one proud since it MAY BE THE ONLY ONE LEFT and will be featured in Sea Ray Living magazine
and sitting in the Sea Ray museum in Knoxville in September

this is the first classic boat I have ever attempted
Done MANY cars..but never a boat.
