One thing that slipped my mind on my earlier post.

At highway speeds, let alone racing speeds, the windshield will move back a little under the pressure of wind resistance.

If the bottom of the windshield frame contacts the body the frame could be distorted as it tries to reform itself to the contour of the body.

This could lead to a cracked glass (windshield) as will as increased wear on the glass body and chrome frame.

I ran my other Cobra, an LAE, for over 40k miles and seven years with the bottom of the windshield frame at 1/4" above the body. I added a center bracket after the first three years.

I never had any problem with the windshield frame protecting the windshield glass. The support posts are designed to do the job, the center clamp does help keep the center of the frame from lifting slightly at higher speeds.

I had my inside rear view mirror mounted to the top of the windshield frame. The center bracket eliminated about 90 % of the vibration in the mirror at highway speeds.
