Begin by peeling off the protective film; don’t peel all the film off so you can protect the windshield from getting scratched. Next, take the 50” piece of rubber gasket and starting at one end firmly place it across the bottom of the windshield. You may need to trim off the excess gasket. The diagram below shows where to install the gasket.
-
Next, install the sliding vent panel on the inside of the windshield as shown in the diagram below. To install slide fasteners, push through holes with your thumbs until it is completely through the hole in the windshield and locked in place.
-
Now the Windshield is ready to be installed. With the help of a friend, place the Windshield on the Gator, setting it up onto the hood.
-
Take the remaining hardware and install the windshield to the roll cage as shown in the diagram below.
-
Now you can install the top brace if you want. If you do not have a Falcon Ridge Cab enclosure to work with this windshield, the top brace is not needed but can be installed for extra strength. Below is a diagram showing how the brace is to be installed.
-
If you are using this windshield with a Falcon Ridge Cab enclosure, then you will use the Top Brace to sandwich the cab material and seal off the inside from the wind. The diagram below shows how it will work. If you aren’t using one of Falcon Ridge Cab Enclosures you may opt not to use the Top Brace or install it for added strength.
-
Now you are ready to take it out and enjoy. To clean the windshield, always clean using a liquid of some sort to decrease the chance of scratches. We recommend using microfiber cloths that are readily available at any dollar store. Any window cleaner will work fine; just remember to use a soft clean rag or micro-fiber cloth to clean it.
Thank you for your purchase!
