    In my exprience with a fiberglass tub, you may have to shim/adjust the windsheild to give it the right angle.

    You'll get a different windshield angle depending on the tub, and how old/compressed the windshield gasket is. This is the molded gasket between the windshield and the cowl; the one that's exposed when you fold down the windshield. You can try a new repop gasket to give you a little less angle, or you can shim up the gasket with whatever you have. Old inner tube comes to mind. Bicycle inner tube might work, and be about the right width.
