While i do not have an A&C, i might share a way i used to test a replacement window or frame on the originals, before mounting.
Rather than just measure everything, i would disassemble the frame/window set and install the L & R near verticals. Then slide the window set in-between the mounting braces and observe the clerances or lack thereof. You will then have a pretty good idea of what needs to be done to mount the entire assembly later in a stress free mode.
Particularly, this is helpful if the chassis has been bent or twisted in an accident. Why take the risk of cracking the windshield?
And the poster above is certainly correct in pointing out the need to avoid any contact between the lower of the windshield frame and the cowling. That is why the rubber seal exists. Leave plenty of space...it's free and safe.
