[TR] TR3b windscreen cracked, again!

[Bill]

I am sure to be corrected if mistaken, but I believe the two screws 
on the windshield stanchion are unique, and of different lengths. 
Also if the frame has had "trauma" at any point and is not perfectly 
/ correctly "bowed" it will put tension on the glass and it will 
break easily ...

Good Luck
