It is built from anodized aluminum tubing, which resists corrosion and holds up to sun and saltwater exposure better than untreated metal, and it is finished in chrome. Each end of the bar uses nylon fittings, which allow the bar to pivot and adjust as needed while preventing metal-on-metal wear at the mounting points.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis support bar is sold as a single unit, with one bar per package, and mounting screws are included so it is ready to install without sourcing separate hardware. It is a common replacement part for boaters whose original windshield support bar has cracked, corroded, or lost its fittings over time, and it is intended to restore the same backward-lean support the original bar provided.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Taylor Made Products\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1638\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Windshield Support Bar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Anodized aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFittings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\/Color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.26 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.94 x 17.75 x 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 17.01 x 2.91 x 1.1 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 bar per package\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Screws included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 040011016386\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the Taylor Made Products 1638 windshield support bar do?\u003c\/strong\u003e It prevents a boat's windshield from leaning backward by bracing it in place, using anodized aluminum tubing with nylon fittings at each end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is the 1638 support bar?\u003c\/strong\u003e The bar measures 14 inches in length, with overall item dimensions of 2.94 x 17.75 x 0.75 inches including the end fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the 1638 windshield support bar made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is made from anodized aluminum tubing finished in chrome, with nylon fittings at the mounting ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs mounting hardware included with part number 1638?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, screws are included with the Taylor Made Products 1638 support bar, so no separate hardware needs to be purchased.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many bars come in one package?\u003c\/strong\u003e One package of the 1638 support bar contains a single bar, sold individually rather than in pairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the nylon fittings corrode or rust?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the nylon fittings on the 1638 support bar are rustproof, and the aluminum tubing is anodized to resist corrosion as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the fitting material at the ends of the support bar?\u003c\/strong\u003e Both ends of the 1638 windshield support bar use nylon fittings rather than metal hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the 1638 support bar weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Taylor Made Products 1638 windshield support bar weighs 0.26 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color or finish does the 1638 support bar have?\u003c\/strong\u003e It has a chrome finish over anodized aluminum tubing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this an OEM Taylor Made Products part?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, part number 1638 is a genuine Taylor Made Products windshield support bar, not a generic aftermarket copy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the package weight and size for shipping?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 1638 support bar ships in packaging measuring 17.01 x 2.91 x 1.1 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the 1638 bar be used on either side of the windshield?\u003c\/strong\u003e The listing does not specify a left or right side designation, so it is offered as a general-purpose 14 inch support bar.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor Made Products","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48989668475099,"sku":"NAT-1638","price":25.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/51ZjHv6Bz_L_a6e6c345-6de2-4ec1-b765-ae2c073d2a2f.jpg?v=1784486719","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/taylor-made-products-1638-marine-windshield-support-bar-14-anodized-aluminum-with-nylon-fittings","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
