New idea for flush mount windshield

[parsonsj]

Not sure yet about hiding the edge of the glass. I may just leave it: sand it, polish it, and leave it exposed. Remember that the edge of the glass will be recessed into the frame, so it won't really be visible (hence the term flush-mount: a smooth surface between glass and sheetmetal). I would try for an 1/16" gap between the sheetmetal and the glass. A more germane question is how to get the glass to exactly follow the contour of the roof and cowl lines. That may require late model window edge trim to hide some minor flaws.
