    1973 windshield

    Hello, I am dealing with a 73 coupe windshield.
    This was an old race car with welding all over.
    The glass is aftermarket.

    The glass would pop out.
    I’m trying to fix it permanent.

    I had to re-do the cowl, it was pretty croocked.

    Questions, should the glass fit completely inside the frame?
    The glass has a ‘gap’ on top & bottom, shown with yellow arrow.
    And glass has an ‘overlap’ on both sides, centered, shown in blue arrow.
    (Perhaps the glass is too wide)

    If is not supposed to overlap, can I sand or grind the glass narrower?

    The diagram shows no overlap

    Me personally I put the seal on the glass and then see how it fits the frame.
