[FC] Glass, can be a pain in the

[Ken Hand]

 I can't say that I have ever cracked an early or FC windshield going in but I have cracked a late model car glass going in. What I analyzed was the trim clip got into the edge of the windshield and put a stress riser there and when you put pressure on the glass to seat it, it breaks. On a late, I always take the trim clips out before installation and if I am trying to save the glass I take them off before removal.

Cant agree more on the comments on being careful who you use.  I went
to a company that specializes in old car windshields and even he
cracked one.
