Default Re: Wind Wings

I got lucky today. My son-in-law stopped by on his way home from his deer lease. He is the head mechanic at one of the CarMax dealers in the Houston area and I really trust his instincts.

We stuck strips of the 3M tape to the rear clamp surfaces and trimmed them. Note the surfaces on the rear clamps are flat without dimples. Next, we superglued dimpled rubber pads to the front clamp surfaces and did a trial fitting, adjusting the tiny adjusting wheels to get the clamps parallel. He told me that there was no way that the glass would come loose so we removed the tape coating and screwed the clamps with a little thread-lock tightly together, enough to compress the rubber pads.

Thanks again for everyone’s suggestions and hope that this might help others.
