I have just checked out how to mount the 33 roadster windshield. I was hoping for a full sized template in the box (of the one in the manual) but no luck. If I measure 7” from the front of the firewall, I end up very close to the seem. I checked the body both on and off the car and nowhere does the windshield contact the frame. Am I to believe the nuts and small washers are going to support this windshield without a backing strip or some kind of reinforcement to the fiber glass.
I must be missing a step.

If it does mount this way, why wouldn’t you mount the windshield with the body off? You could easily put in a nice backing strip and reach the nuts easily.

I am interested in what some of you done with the FF windshield mounting.

Thanks
