Windshield Strap Question
« on: July 22, 2015, 04:22:58 PM »
I recently purchased a strap from Walcks and was curious about the right way to mount the strap and secure the windshield. I did not have have one previously and hard to find a direct on photo for example. Thanks in advance!

This is how I did mine, right or wrong.....it just barely works this way....but maybe they are making them just a little longer now....an inch or two longer would have been perfect..

This is a military strap so the buckle is different, but the route appears to be the same...

This is good info. I recently found out i had my strap routed incorrectly and the military picture is perfect to get it right.
