How to Install a Windshield Cover?

Use the left-hand glove of the electric scooter windshield cover to encase both the left-hand brake and grip of the scooter, then secure the straps. After putting on the left-hand glove of the windshield cover, fully unfold the windshield cover and prepare to put on the right-hand glove. Once the windshield cover is unfolded, put on the right-hand windshield glove and secure the straps of the right-hand glove. After fixing both gloves in place, sit on the electric scooter, cover yourself with the windshield cover, and insert your hands into the gloves to confirm the installation is complete. The outer layer of the windshield cover is usually made of waterproof material. If dust accumulates on the surface, simply wipe it off with a cloth.
Installing a windshield is a step-by-step process. With nearly twenty years in auto repair, I know this isn't something to take lightly. First, gather the necessary tools like a specialized cutting knife and adhesive gun. Safety comes first—wear goggles and gloves, and carefully remove the old glass to avoid injury from shards. Next, thoroughly clean off old adhesive residue and dirt from the frame, using a degreaser and scrubbing hard to ensure a spotless surface for the new adhesive to bond properly. Applying the adhesive is crucial—always use high-quality polyurethane glue, spreading it evenly with moderate thickness, and don’t skimp. Then, with two people working together, gently lift and position the new windshield, aligning it carefully with the marked points to ensure it sits perfectly straight. After pressing it firmly in place, let it sit undisturbed for the adhesive to cure, typically several hours—avoid driving or shaking the car during this time. Finally, conduct a leak test: spray water to check if the edges are sealed tightly; only when there’s no leakage is the job done. The entire process demands patience and attention to detail. Beginners should avoid attempting it—if mishandled, the cost of fixing mistakes could be much higher.
