Windshield frame corner replacement
I am in the process of removing the windshied frame corner. It appears that the piece was secured with adhesive and rivets. The replacement part I ordered states that welding is required. Can I install new part as the original or weld? Also, should I secure the frame in case it moves after the corner is removed.
Thanks in advance,
Dan

I could be wrong but I don't think the original corner was fastened with adhesive and rivets since the frame is a structural component. More likely the corner was rusted and Bubba glued a new one on.
If the body is on the frame I don't think the windshield frame is going to move when you remove the corner. If the frame was under tension you would probably have a broken windshield.

I'm about to do the same. Both sides are welded on mine.
