Installing the Windshield on Sonex Model B

Postby dboeshaar » Sat Jul 06, 2024 8:29 pm

I have been watching the One Week Wonder videos and see that the windshield was installed before the gas tank and glare shield.

Yikes!

Does anyone have a good video link to how to install the windshield? I'm pretty nervous.

Where do I install the forward bow? How do I shove in the plexi?

Fairly straight forward if you follow directions on drawing SNB-D01, but you definitely need another person (or two) to hold things in position while you mark, drill & install fasteners. Then fit the canopy. I then removed both to continue wiring, plumbing & firewall. Some good videos on YouTube at www.youtube.com/@gavinssonexb. Good luck.
