Bird Strike on my 30 Sedan !!!!

Post by AbsterMcgee »

Hey All,

Towing the boat to the ramp at 60+ mph when a Turkey Buzzard slamed my starboard windscreen! Needless to say I am now looking for:

1: A trick to getting the frame of the header, screws corroded, only 2" clearance to the screws from the Hardtop Brow.
2: Ant leeds on where I might find a replacemet window with frame & hindge?

I always try tapping the screw driver with a hammer to free up the screw. or you can buy the screw remover tool to back out the screws. Definately eitherway tap the screws to help loosen the corrosion.

this for Reelfishin, I have tried to send MKD Genny manuals, just now and back in may. Your ISP will not let the large files throug. If you would email me your mailing address I will burn them to a disk.

Let me know something as I did not get a response previously to a mail address request.
