Default Bestop Windshield Header Inst. WARNING!

Just got the header from 4WD (still waiting for the Bikini and Duster), since there's some assembly decided to get it ready. WARNING* Do not overtighten (that means anything more than snug, believe me, I didn't even get close to leaning on them) any of the screws. Snapped 3, even after the first one, lightened up alot and still snapped 2 more. Called Bestop, they couldn't have been nicer and are sending me out new ones, but I figured I'd save you guys a call.

I never had any problems with my screws. Maybe I'm not as strong as I thought I was. I had better hit the gym .
