Installed a new header in my 30 coupe. Is it possible to first mount the windshield hinge then slide the windshield in place or do the windshield and hinge need to be mounted as a unit?
Thanks, Steve

Yes you can! Just did it.

Really! I'll have to check that out. I just had mine apart last year and put the hinge together before screwing it to the header with a fight. I was dreading taking it back apart since I stripped two of the screws on one side and getting some sag.

Thanks,
Bob NJ

It works with the visor off, I bolted just the hinge on which made it easy to line things up then slid the ws on.
