The hinges at the top of the windshield usually sieze up from not cranking it out for a long time. Make sure the windshield swings in and out easily, don't force and bend the metal.A tip from Tony the hack, if the truck is a driver, a select piece of wood will hold open the glass just fine. A tapered piece allows fine adjustment.use a piece of wire and a ffew screws to bind the wire around, to tie the window closed.
