[QUOTE="Bill G, post: 1445487, member: 97968"] Chalk up another appreciative visitor to Kaitsdad’s post. Although I’d pretty much removed all the panels, middle/side and lower panels before I found the post, it helped greatly in my removing the cowling and headlight assembly as a single piece. Will consult the step-by-step in reverse for reassembly. My windshield had stopped operating and for the past year was stuck in the up position. Came across lots of posts on the other owners forum citing problems with the switch, the drive/motor, ground “spiders.” It was none of the above. The rubber windshield seal apparently had torn and jammed the cable mechanism somehow. Once I removed the cowling and the seal fell away, the switch raised and lowered the windshield arms just fine, with the motor running smoothly. Now, I need to pick up a new or used replacement seal in good shape. Any suggestions/recommendations? [/QUOTE]
