Stupid Windshield Instalation Question

[luke000]

So after a month and a half my VR is finally started being put back together. I am installing a windshield and I have 2 metal/ rubber plate tab things that I know where they go and a vague idea of the purpose. BUT I am having a senior moment on the orientation and affixing method of said part . IE does this piece go on top of the "glass", between the glass and the rubber or between the rubber and the frame? And there is holes for 2 screws in each tab and the frame however only 1 of those is threaded, Is there just 1 screw per tab . I thought i took a picture of the windshield as i was disassembling it but it looks like i did not, probably thinking it was so simple i could not forget. And the parts diagram is no help whatsoever.

 

PS I attached a picture of the tab for ref.

that goes on top of the windshield rubber pointed up, and there is only one screw per (on my rig anyway) the other hole is for orientation

I haven't put my 86 back together yet, and the 83 to 85 is different, doesn't have that piece, so I think it's got to do with the chrome piece that goes on. It probably holds, stabilizes the chrome piece.

Thank You! I got it all set and looking good.

Rubber goes down. Holds the top of the headlight bezel in place.

I could see the marks from the rubber still on the bezel so I took care of that

Those are the clips that hold the center of the winshield. You will find 2 holes in the windshield close together, but only one takes a screw. You will know which hole the screw goes in because there will only be threads behind one hole. There are of course two more holes out near the edges of the windshield, both of which take a single collared washer.The tabs go down, and I am at a total loss as to what the purpose of them is. Maybe just to interfere with taking the headlight housing out or putting it back in......
