<VV> Windshield Storage

[J R Read_HML]

I understand (have been told) that it is best to store them vertically for 
least (or no?) warpage.

That said, I've stored them in the garage rafters (more or less flat - 10 
yrs or more), with the ends of the glass hanging down a few inches beyond 
the rafters.  So far, they've always fit the car or truck when I needed to 
install one.  Garage has a hip roof and no insulation - so they are in some 
pretty hot space up there in the summer.  I have a couple of stadium type 
seat cushions between the glass and the rafters.

Attachments (if any) are scanned with anti-virus software.

Later, JR
