Windshield frame support

[BRONCOBERT]

What is the best way to give the windshield frame some support when not running a hard top. I have a Toms Bronco Family cage, and was wondering whats the cleanest and safest way to attach the two.

Yes I have bought a pair of those but was told not to install them because the windshield frame and cage move a little independent of each other and they would work loose and or damage windshield.

I know you have the family bar, weld a piece of tube from the front of the bar into the soft top channel. I ran windshield bar extensions I converted from a jeep to create this!

Alot of us have used the turnbuckles for years. The turnbuckle can piviot slightly and will allow the frame to flex a bit. Im not sure the cage even would move independtly from the body that much. If the cage moved that much then a frame tie-in kit would be impossible to use. Things dont flex that much. I glued my windshield in instead of using the rubber. Alot of guys said that the flex of the frame will crack the glass, but i dont see it hapening.

you can also use a turn buckle on the windshield and a stearns quick disconnect to a ball stud so you can still fold the windshield down.. they are available at any marine store

I think that I have found a nice clean way to solve this problem, just not sure if I should mount them as a stop or support so that the windshield has something to lean on or I could screw that block to the windshield frame attaching the two.

This is what we have been using/selling for about 10 years and never heard of any problems. http://www.bcbroncos.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=2245
