The answer from ERA was to cut the windshield bows off above the clip on the windshield. I cut 3/4 inches above the clip as that left enough for riveting the clasp to. The driver side bow fit on the windshield well but the passenger side was kind of a mess. So I spent about an hour twisting and bending it to get it to fit down over the top of the windshield without drama. I filed down all the rough edges and smoothed out a couple of spots and I'm going down to return it to the powder coaters today to get it re-coated. I expect to have to make one further cut on the back bow but I should be able to touch it up with some semi-flat paint to match the powder coating. Maybe I can resume by next week end.
I guess the lesson learned is if you intend to coat or paint the bows, wait until you get everything trial fitted and then do so.
