Sorry, I was in a hurry. I don't have the side braces or brackets on yet. I simply took the windshield out of the box and set it on the body. The outside bottom corners are too wide to sit down into the dimples in the body, they extend probably 3/8" beyond the dimples, outboard into the rectangle marked in white by the manufacturer to be cut for the brackets. I am assuming if the windshield corners sat down into the dimple recess, that the bottom of the windshield would sit fairly uniformly accross the top of the body, but it currently has about 1/4" gap, even though the giant seal on the bottom covers the gap from the front. I'm pretty sure that once the brackets are mounted, I will have to cut the slots outboard from where they are currently marked, because of the extra width. If I cut a 3/8" groove 90 degrees outboard from the front-to-back dimple, the windshield will drop down snug on the body, but this groove will probably cut through the body, and I will have to seal it from the inside. Maybe it doesn't matter, maybe the entire load of the windshield should be born by the brackets, and it doesn't matter if the bottom isn't touching all the way accross.
