i started putting in my windshield today. i ordered new glass, seals, and brackets to put it all together. i started at the bottom of the windshield and worked my way up to the top. all was going well until i went to put in the top brackets. with all the screws tight i could not get the miters to pull up tight at the top. i had about a 1/8" gap on the one side and a 1/16" gap on the other. you could see right thru.
fortunately i had saved my old brackets... and again fortunately only one screw had broken off in the top brackets taking the old windshield apart. i was able to drill out the broken screw and use the old top brackets. they pulled the top miters up tight.
while apart i compared the new and old brackets. on one side of both new top brackets the holes were about half a hole off which caused the gap. if you are going to change your glass, save your old brackets no matter how bad they look.
