When I got home and took the picture in the driveway, I noticed the dimensions of the windshield channel area all over the place, and that's not the glass installers fault. It cracked right down the center because the bottom of the windshield was resting on the pin that holds the clips for the stainless trim.

When I replaced the windshield channel, I didn't have any template or measurements to go off off, so it did cross my mind that it might be an issue, although I thought the channel would be larger than the glass instead of closer, but I take full responsibility for the breakage. Thankfully the Crack is top to bottom in the center of the glass, so it doesn't obstruct my view.

Darn it.
