No. I missed that. It's a big help, although I think I'll still look around for more first-hand reports from those that have done this. The crank-up mechanism's restoration is as important to me as this article's discussion of frame/glass repair.
I've always liked crank-out windshields but never owned one until now. Actually, I can't yet say I own one because mine is so stuck in place. But I'll get there.
Thanks again, Dennis
