My gosh Kevin, that is a method! I would be scared it would crack. The thing is I have 2 to do. My 59 panel windshield has always had a crack in it. I`d like to take care of both at the same time. With the 59`s windshield out, I want to clean and repair/ paint that mounting flange. There is a fella ,young guy who does it around here. But he acts kinda untouchable as I had set up an appointment with him at a local car dealership and he never showed. He was gonna charge $450 and not guarantee if the WS would break. So you kinda get a sense of whats around me and why if you want something done, I`ve learned to do it myself. I used to own and operate a 300 acre farm. I have that experience. But doing something twice or incorrect in this job has less forgiveness. Time and money. It has come a long way
