Is there an adjustment to align the windshield with the hood when the windshield is folded down? The male tangs on the windshield frame are off by 1/4" from connecting with the female attachments on the hood. When I fold the windshield down there are 4 bolts under the hinges and there looks like there is some side to side adjustment.

Those 4 bolts move the windshield and hood - they won't help out with that adjustment. I'm not sure, but you may have to loosen the large screws in the hood at the hinges to move it around - I'm just not sure if they move much or at all.

IIRC, the 4 screws that hold the female parts on the hood are smaller than the holes in the hood itself. You should be able to adjust the female base pieces on the hood to align them.
