Re: Windshield fit

It's not all the way in at the top. You might need to park it in the sun or heat up you shop and slap it in. Spray soapy water into the gasket groves, use plastic tools to open the gap to spray it in. When it's the best you can get it if the lower corners still don't quite reach, a glass guy told me a trick. You can use a small piece of vacuum hose, or part of one, and push it in the grove between the edge of the glass and the gasket. When you get the fit you want you can add some silicone sealer in to seal it and keep it from moving.
