<div dir="ltr">Interesting.  I bought a new windshield in 1993.  It was thinner.  And the stainless pieces didn't fit correctly with the thinner windshield.  Sadly, I had to trim the aluminum a bit to get it to lay correctly.  I would swap the original glass back in, and everything would line up and fit.  Then the thinner one again, and same problem.  I thought it was because it was thinner - that's what I was told at the time.  </div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Fri, Oct 12, 2018 at 7:20 AM jimmc13--- via Tigers <<a href="mailto:tigers@autox.team.net">tigers@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><br>

Folks, I have a VB windshield in my 66 Tiger.  Be aware that new glass <br>
is thinner and stronger than our old stuff, so you have to take <br>
precautions as the gasket slot is too wide for the new glass, and wiggle <br>
a little, and will leak if not sealed(adhesive), otherwise the fit as in <br>
shape was correct.<br>
