My buggy has a plane windshield frame, there is no groove running along the top that a canvas or vinyl top would fit into.  I want to install a small bikini top.  Can a groove be purchased and installed or would I have to purchase a new windshield and frame that has a groove???  Has anyone run into this problem and if so how was a top fastened to the top of the windshield????  I'm not sure there is enough room to install snaps along the windshield frame.

Any suggestions, ideas or suppliers to shop for a windshield wold be appreciated.

Jim B., Is there a groove on the back side of the frame. If so, is it possible to turn it around. My windshield is mounted backwards and I bet a lot of them are.

ditto what KJ says. If there is a black rubber on the backside. it is probably groove filler

Thanks for the input.  There is no groove any where on my frame.  I did however find a guy the makes tops for boats and he has an aluminum extrusion piece that can be fastened to my frame and it will receive a top.  He says he uses it all the time on boat applications.
I'm going to have him fabricate a top and install it. I will let you all know how it turns out.

Thanks again for your input and suggestions.

Look up Awning Rail and Welt. I used this similar setup for attaching a custom awning to my Vanagon.

Mike,
Thanks for the input.  The site showed the exact piece of aluminum extrusion I found.  I put it on the top of the windshield and had a boat canvas shop whip up a top.  They did a nice job and it works great.
Sorry it took so long to get back.  I will attach a pic of the finished top......

     Thanks again for the help
