Save yourself the trouble of making and measuring and hit up a local boat shop or West Marine. Usually they have it by the foot for boat tops and covers and with a little O.D. it looks as good as the original. As an added bonus it is aluminum, so no more rust either.
Oh, and some RV places carry it as well for the awnings on trailers and RV's......
From the top of the channel, outside, to the top edge of the windshiled frame, 1.5 inches.
From the top edge of the factory windshield seal to the top of the channel, outside, 2 inches.
Randy's right, I got mine at a boat shop just measure it and have them cut it.
I just bought an appropriate-length piece of square tubing (1/2"?) and had the local machine shop cut a groove in it the whole length. Then my welding neighbor welded it to my windshield and it's just like factory.
yeah, I have the tubing also, gonna cut it this week and tack it on when I get homemade hardtop off it next week hopefully.

I got the tubing from Mcmaster carr, and am going to machine the slot, but I have 2 questions (hopefully the last)
the tubing I got is .060 wall, what is the stock one
is the slot thickness 1/4 inch?
Thanks
Duane
Just measured mine...wall thickness is .060.
The slot measures .180 inch from front to rear.
A little hard to get the caliper in there so it might be a little off on either number but I know both are close...no more than .01 off on either for sure.
thanks, I am machining tommorow
