Ok guy's, I can't be the only one to have this problem but I tried searching and found nothing. I started to install my wind wings this morning and discovered that the clamp will not go over the windshield frame. My frame measures about .220" and the opening in my clamps are only .160". .060 is more than I want to try to spread the clamps. Tried calling FF but they must be closed today. What are you thoughts?

Never mind, I feel like a total idiot. I had the hardware for the sun visors and not for the wind wings.

Almost same thing I experienced...I got wind wing hardware with my sun visors. I called FF and they shipped the correct hardware immediately.

At some point, I just subscribed to the fact that if something didn't fit....it had to be me...:)

You must not be building an 818! :D
Seriously, I relate to the confusion and appreciate your honesty. You could have just played it off, said you fixed the problem, and none of us would have been the wiser. Humble pie is good for the soul.
