I have taken my top off for the first time and it seems that the dash knobs that run through the dash and are supposed to screw into the lower part of the windsheild - do not screw into the windsheild. It seems as if there is a part that needs to be screwed in to accept the threaded end of the knob. Does anyone have a picture of that or know where is a good place to source that part?

You need the windshield nuts... It screws in using two screws on either side... Post up in the wanted section... Or call any vendor... They should have a set used
Hope this helps. This is what it looks like without the dashpad installed.

That is exactly what I need. Found it used on SOR. Thank you.
Cruiser corps has them also. I think $15 a piece. Less expensive than SOR.

There is usually a spacer in between the nut and the windshield knob. I think it's there so you don't overtighten the windshield maybe. I think I have 2 extras if you think they are necessary.
They are totally necessary. Otherwise you are tightening against the windshield gasket only and the windshield will wobble in the wind.
Fast Eddy,
Would you know why I might be having such a problem with the alignment of the Knobs with the Windshield brackets? When I take the Windshield down, the screws seem to go in fine. When I try to insert them threw the holes in the dash, it becomes an alignment nightmare. I just can't seem to get things to line up, especially on the passenger side. I know the Gasket is a bit crushed especially on that right corner, but I wouldn't think it would throw things off that much. I'm using the Cruiser Corp Knobs.... would the CCOT OEM or Aftermarket Knobs be a better choice perhaps?
