It appears as if the windshield mount bracket is twisted out slightly on both sides. Do I just bend it or does it fit that way?

Thanks

The pre-cut slots from Factory Five are straight. But in my experience they will end up pointing slightly outward when installed and tightened, similar to what you're showing. I've adjusted the slot accordingly. Just took this pic of #8674.

Thanks edwardb,

You came through in a pinch again.
I didn’t know if something was wrong.

Now it’s time to drill and shim.

One last question,
I saw a video that said to use loctite purple on the small screws for the windshield bracket. I’m having a tough time finding loctite purple locally. Can I use blue or should I wait and order purple. If I wait do you think it’s ok to install the windshield in the car and then do one screw at a time when i get the purple or hold up the show til it comes in.

Thanks again

Blue will work fine.
