According to one embodiment, a windshield attachment device is received in a windshield opening for coupling a windshield to a body and includes a fastener portion, a bolt, and an elastomeric load isolator. The fastener portion has an opening therethrough. The bolt is configured to extend through the opening of the fastener portion and couple the fastener portion to the body. The elastomeric load isolator surrounds at least a portion of the fastener portion and separating the fastener portion from the windshield. The windshield opening is sufficiently larger than the attachment device such that a gap exists between the elastomeric load isolator and an interior surface of the windshield opening when each attachment device is positioned through the windshield opening.
