Interesting. I bought a new windshield in 1993. It was thinner. And the
stainless pieces didn't fit correctly with the thinner windshield. Sadly,
I had to trim the aluminum a bit to get it to lay correctly. I would swap
the original glass back in, and everything would line up and fit. Then the
thinner one again, and same problem. I thought it was because it was
thinner - that's what I was told at the time.

Folks, I have a VB windshield in my 66 Tiger.=C2=A0 Be aware that new glass=

is thinner and stronger than our old stuff, so you have to take <br>
