[Tigers] Windshield install Issues (Nothing new, right?)

[Gary]

Stu, 
It sounds like you are doing it right.
I would pull it out and try again though.
I say that because of the last one I put in.
It was brand new from Vic British OEM XXX.
It seemed to go in fine, trim and all.
But, the first cold night in my not so cold
California, one of the laminations in the lower
corner cracked.  I can only think that I left it
a little too stressed on one side.

We started by centering the windshield as best we could judge, then started at the top center to lift the gasket over the lip, working our way across the top and down the sides.  One side didn't fit well, but we pressed on, finishing the bottom.   Still the one side just didn't seem right.
