Attaching Windscreen to pillars
FlansS14 - 12/6/14 at 08:16 AM

Morning, what is the correct way to attach the screen frame to the pillars... I have done a little research and most just use self tappers (2 each side)

Is it just me or does that seam a little "unsafe" at 100mph+ (Autobahn)

Mine has four, I think 5mm, bolts each side coming through from the inside passing through the supports with domed nuts on the outside

Mine has 3 of 5mm x10 mm counter sunk screw each side, and has never caused a problem yet

I inserted ally rivnuts into the frame from inside, drilled frame supports to the size of the exposed rivnut then filed rivnut back to just below surface of screen support so nuts would countersink

Added angle to rear of screen so screen can't be push back

Are your M5 bolts just self tapping and screwed into the windscreen surround. Or is it better to drill and tap the frame before fitting the glass..
