I don't know about the TR4 you referred to, but I had the stock windshield
of my TR6 cut down to less than half-height for vintage racing. The
windshield frame was then cut down to the same height.
There's a photo at http://www.fot-racing.com/tr6/caption/3.htm
I wasn't sure how long the glass would last w/o cracking--and was prepared
to replace it with Lexan if necessary--but it's still intact after three
racing seasons.
