Thread: help installing v-bent windshield in 39 chevy

Tweet

as you guys know, just finished painting the body on my 39 chevy coupe, & went to install the windshield a V-bent style, has anyone out there installed one in a 39 chevy? my problem is after putting on the gasket, set the glass on the track on the pass side (installing the glass from inside the car) but when I go to push try an push the glass in on the driver side, it hits the inside edge of the "A" piller on the drivers side!!!the windshield looks like it is 1/4 to long??. the "A" pillars on a coupe are kind of triangle shaped so at the front inside edge of the "A" piller are closer together from side-to-side. as soon as you pass the edge of the "A" they get farther apart & the windshield would have no problem getting installed. I don't want to try & bend the windshield to try and get past the tight area. any thoughts?? I hope I made sense.
I did have a glass guy try to install it, but he couldn.t. . the glass is correct, checked with auto city glass & they said it was the right glass for my car. has anyone had problems with windshields from them ?
