My frame and windshield fit fine

Thanks for this.
I tried it to fit on another BN7 and while it was closer to a fit on the to=
o of the windshield frame than on mine, it still was off. That frame had a =
center toggle lock on it which held the frame in the center.
It could be the wood piece so I will take another look at it. I haven't pla=
yed with it lately so with winter almost here I thought I would give it a s=
hot again.
Thanks again !

Regards,
Richard C

Only one 2-seater top frame for BN6 and BN7, sorry.

One would have to see your installation, to see what the issue is.

The bows have an adjustment, two long screws in the feet of the main bow, b=
ut that would likely not affect your problem. Nor would the separate thin w=
edge piece under the clamp

The aluminum trim and rubber seal together should have enough thickness to =
get a nice over-center action from the clamps.

The wood bows from Moss have sometimes not had the correct curve to fit the=
 windshield top exactly, in my experience. If the bow is not curved enough =
at the outer ends, then the clamps are too close to the pegs.  Look very ca=
refully at what is going on, and see what would be necessary to make the wo=
od header bow provide enough height from the windshield to raise the steel =
top frame, and make the clamp just barely reach the peg at full extension. =
Maybe add a strip of 1/8 plywood between wood bow and aluminum ?

Attached pic shows "J" hook fully wound in, so rubber seal is removed for r=
eplacement with new. The lovely sharp-pointed "S" clamp is the correct orig=
inal BN6-7 type, but the blunt BJ8 "safety" clamps sold now do the same job=
.

Best I can do without seeing yours.
