ABSTRACT:
A boat windshield is assembled using a quick connect joint that combines the ease of assembly of conventional push together joints with the strength and aesthetics of conventional slip joints, and may be assembled without accessory fasteners. First and second substantially rigid frame members mount first and second transparent windshield panels, the first frame member having a first, female, side including a recess, and the second frame member having a first, male, side including a hollow projection which is shaped and dimensioned to mate with the recess, and has a first slot defined in it. The recess has a quick connect locking clip extending outwardly from it toward the projection, the locking clip including a channel which cooperates with the first slot to hold the first and second frame members together. Typically at least two first slots and clips are provided in the cooperating frame members, vertically spaced from each other, and the first sides are vertical and mounted to a boat deck. The clip may be held in place in the first frame member merely by the first gasket and first windshield panel.
