Is the decision to install the glass before paint a matter of personal preference, or is there a strategy involved? Looks great, by the way!

It is not installed. We are just test fitting and making any modifications for the fit to be as close to perfect as I want. We have set dabs of the window adhesive at different spots on the window channel and let it dry. It was then cut down with a razor blade to the necessary height so that it would be as flush as we could make it. Those “adhesive bumpers” will stay there through the paint process so that the window will be in the exact same spot for final install.
