I couldnt find the windshield center bar inside piece even though I kicked it around a while. I picked up a new one and oh well what the hell a new outside piece too. if you havent installed one yet with new rubber, let me help. the bolts they give you come no where close to inserting. so what I do is buy longer bolts and some cap nuts. I cut the heads off the bolts and thread them into the stainless outside piece then use the cap nuts to snug it all down. you can replace the cap bolts with the countersink bolts one at a time afterwards, but I dont mind the cap nut look, I actually prefer it
jacked the truck up to finish the bumper bracket welding, bleed the brakes, etc. something made me check the trans bolt haha
found the nut in my hidey space of important things and installed it.
