I have been thinking about this also.
I had a chance to hang out at a glass shop and watch for a while. The guy doing it said all that trim stuff is just for looks and does nothing to seal the glass. The goop they glue the glass in with is what seals it. I watched him place a windshield on a small car without any help. He held it with a sucktion cup handle, and just plopped it in place. He said something about having to bolt-in plastic race glass. |
