No Problems, Just wondering how it was installed and how to replace it

Joe,

Just a guess, it looks like the same effort required to install one on a J, only bigger.

This is done from the outside and fairly intrusive.  Are you familiar?

Rivets come out, sheet metal strip is removed at the bottom, the the old one comes out.  Installing is in the reverse, ending with repaint the effected areas.

Best regards,

Mike,

I must have had my M20C on my mind.  Either way, done from the outside with a fair amount of intrusive labor.

My C got a new windshield (1 piece, but not 201 style) somewhere in its history.  It was not a good fit and finish was poorly executed.  Qualified people with proper parts are a must.

This is a job that I would not be looking forward to.

Best regards,
