I am about to lock down the spider.
Before doing this, all the body panels and doors and windshield were set in place. In general, the fit of all the parts is really impressive.
However, it looks like the lower corners of the windshield have a gap of slightly over 1/4". I have tried shimming between the roll bar and the body as well as between the body and the chassis in this area, but the window frame is very stiff (as you might expect, with such thick fiberglass in this area). While the windshield can be pressed down almost flush, I don't want to install it already stressed. I'm thinking that perhaps the best way to deal with it is just to install it as is allowing the windshield adhesive to take up the gap and then build up the front of the door frame so that visually it will appear to be in line with the curve of the windshield. The rest of the windshield rests pretty uniformly on the frame.
Any thoughts?
