To provide a little sanity, we're trying to find an original windshield we can borrow, just so we can check the cab.

The way it looks, the windshield needs to be ground down about 1/8" at the upper corners. It's wrong in a COMPLETELY different way from the last repop window we tried. My guy has a grinder, and will be back to my place in January. (I'm having some minor surgery on 12/10 and will be out of commission for at least the rest of December. No big deal...)

I'm starting to wonder how many garbage windows are floating around, being sent back for lack of fit, then sent out again by the suppliers. They always want them back when there's a problem, so what else could they be doing with them?
Maybe they just pass the bad ones around until someone breaks it.
