I am looking for advice on installing the MK4 Windshield.
My manual only has 3 pages relating to the fitment of the windshield. (304-305, & 389) I know that If I ever want to install a soft top there are angles and measurements that need to be followed. I have seen articles to replace the brass side strips supplied by FFR. In the FFR Video for the Premium top they talk about a 27" measurement from the inside of the door pillar to the top screw on the windshield frame being 27".
I did find a video on youtube that looks like its from the build school. That's got some good info also.

Also, there are a few discussions regarding Lexan vs Glass for these things.
I am looking for advice at this point, the body now has most of the hardware installed for fitting purposes and I need to do this before installing the wipers and heater.
The car is driveable, in primer.
