check along the top of the windshield frame, there should be a couple of screws that keep it together. Hopefully you have one screw that you can match the length up to. you don't want to crack the glass with a screw that is too long. Loctite the new screws in so they don't loosen out.

thanks Chris for getting back.The problem seems to be at the bottom of the windshield. You can grab it and it will lift up? it won't come out but it will move! The screws at the top are together? I thought maybe there are bolts at the bottom to hold it in but last time I looked I did not see any.Thought someone might of installed one before? Thanks

Typically the windshields are screwed to the deck. You can usually access these screws by removing the plastic instert in bottom of the wind shield with a small screwdriver or awl. You could put a small dap of RTV sealant on the corner of each screw to keep it from backing out.

Is the black rubber gasket still there? Goes in between the frame and the glass..

The black piece is still there! thanks. This week I am going to try taking the black piece off and seeing what's under!
