Mine appeared to be just above the windshield too, but when I started cutting I had to go back so far because of the "hidden rust" the entire roof cut was the only option.

The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." - John Stuart Mill (1806 - 1873)
