Cliff,

While I agree that glass should not be set to bend or flex, I have to vehemently disagree with your statement "it has really no structural integrity of its own"! Glass has quite a lot of strength in compression and not bad in tension.

Glass is used as a stressed, structural member in many, many cases of automotive design, so I am not quite sure where you got this idea from. Inded, in the GT40, it was a structural member of the design.

I ran into the same issue that Vaughn is having with my car when I set the front of the spider ≈¼" to far forward, which brought the roof line down about the same amount that Vaughn is seeing. As Fran pointed out (and I now see that he beat me to the punch on the 'structural member' comment), this was well documented here to warn others of the issues that can arrise from minor misadjustments in the body location.
