IMPORTANT NOTICES
Torque specifications must be followed when tightening bolts. Over-tightening any and/or all screws will cause cracks around mounting holes which is not covered by any warranty
b) Vent assembly (Item B) installation: Partially remove the protective film on both sides of the windshield around the vent cutouts and follow instructions below.
a. From the front side (cab side) of the windshield, slide the vent flap
assembly (Item B) in the vent cut out as shown in image b1. Ensure the lower
tab nests into the front of the windshield as shown in image b2 & b3
b. Install the remaining vent components (Item B) using supplied hardware
as shown below in image b4 & b5
IMPORTANT NOTICES
TWO people are required to install the windshield to the roll cage. Since windshield is wider at the bottom, gentle manipulation and/or slight bending by each person will be required for windshield to slide all the way down into position
Warning : Exercise extreme care during the next step in order to ensure that you do not damage the windshield or vehicle. This is a tight fit.
c) Install the windshield to the vehicle as shown below
d) Install the supplied hardware (Item D) as shown below. Adjust the position of the windshield and tighten
Caution: over tightening any hardware could cause irreversible damage to the windshield.
IMPORTANT NOTICES
Trailerable ONLY with a FULL Front windshield AND Roof – or damage can occur! Due to extreme wind turbulence, towing on an open trailer pulled by motor home, bus or other large size vehicle at highway speeds is NOT recommended.
CAUTION
Limited Towing at lower speeds (60mph or less) for shorter distances is
acceptable with a FULL Front Windshield AND Roof ONLY. Prolonged towing at
highway speeds on an Open trailer is NOT recommended and can cause damage that
is NOT covered under
Warranty. Whenever towing anytime, it is mandatory to check all windshield
hardware BEFORE towing and at frequent intervals afterwards! SPIKE suggests
removal of Rear Windshields if towed in any conditions that are NOT
recommended – removal will also create less drag on the tow vehicle
Maintenance and Care
Tighten all hardware after first use and periodically thereafter.
CLEANING
- Rinse with lukewarm water; wash gently with mild soap or detergent and lukewarm water, using a soft cloth or sponge. DO NOT SCRUB or use brushes or squeegees.
- Rinse again. Dry with soft cloth or moist cellulose sponge to prevent water spotting.
- To remove wet paint, glazing compound or grease, rub lightly with a good grade of VM&P naphtha or isopropyl alcohol, then wash and rinse. DO NOT USE GASOLINE.
NOTICE: Abusive cleaning procedures by hand washing or automated washing equipment will eventually result in visual hazing, loss of light transmission and coating delamination.
Compatible Cleaning Agents
- Aqueous Solution of Soaps and Detergents
MINIMIZING HAIRLINE SCRATCHES
For minimizing scratches and minor abrasions, mild automobile polish can be used. Recommended products: Johnson Paste Wax, Novus Plastic Polish #1 and #2, Mirror Glaze plastic polish and Plexux1. Testing polish on a separate Lexan sample is recommended. Be sure to follow product instructions carefully
