    Unknown GI driving a M38A1. What are the circled bolts for in the windshield frame?

    I was kidding about the Unknown GI part but am genuinely curious about the function of the bolts. I haven't been able to find anything about them in the manual.

    I hope there's some sort of interlock so that thing doesn't come on when the windshield is down!

    Thanks for the replies. Those holes make a lot more sense now.
    That is a super legit light. It looks like you could use it as an aircraft searchlight when the windshield is folded.
