Anyone tried C&C equipment windshields?

[texas30cal]

I got them but the hinges seem to be incorrect? The hinges don't have enough movement to allow the windshield to close, it's still going to be open by a few inches

Post pics?

Is the interference between the two hinge pieces meant to work as a seal to keep water out since there is no way of sealing the hinge itself?

 

[texas30cal]

Here is one of them, maybe I'm just not looking at something right, but it seems the hinge should at least get close to being parallel to the top of the windshield frame? It's not the rubber holding it up, In the pics in putting quite a bit of pressure on it too.

Defective Korean parts. Send it back.

That's what I thought, are US made ones available? It's disappointing bc they did not advertise these as imports

Nope, that's why I hoard all the surplus ones I can find with broken glass and fix them.

Great, all 6 of mine look like they came off of the titanic. Anyone have first hand knowledge of quality replacements that fit?

I've never had issues with the Korean windows.

Is the hinge a pinned hinge or just an edge that slides into a slot?

Droprat has factory ones (used frames) that have had new glass installed for sale. Assuming it's for a m44 series deuce, m809, or m39 series trucks.

It's just two channels that fit together. I just looked at deuce #3 (parts truck, former air force judging by the blue paint), it's upper hinge halves are good so I'll see if the Korean windshields will fit them.

Steelandcanvase used C & C Equipment windows on his deuce without issues. Can't rember which thread he posted it in , probably "The what did you do to your deuce" thread. You may want to search that thread as he isn't on SS much any more.

Pretty sure mine are the Korean ones, I used the old hinge piece on the new frame. It's a tight fit but worked. I don't think it seals as good though.

 

[texas30cal]

I just stripped the frame apart that came off the donor truck, the hinge pieces are near perfect and work with the Korean windshields. Will post comparison pics shortly. For future reference don't bother buying the windshields that come with the hinge.

Does a hard top require the channel that retains the front edge of the soft top?

I got my windshields from Sam Winer motors in Akron Ohio. NOS fit perfectly. Little bit more money, but worth it in my opinion

Both hinges
