I have had two different glass companies try to install a new windshield and they both broke them when installing the trim. Luckily, I didn't try to do the install myself! They both used the PPG glass. It is tight to the clips on every side once installed...no room for wiggle. The first company said they wouldn't do another as they thought the PPG glass wasn't cut correctly. They compared it to my old glass and there were obvious differences in dimension. The second company is coming out with a new one at the end of the week. They both broke the glass when trying to force the trim into place...it is tight. The first installers cracked it dead center top and the second guys cracked it bottom right corner. Any suggestions on installing the trim and avoiding another break? The first guys used the 1/4' butyl and the second guys tried their urethane stuff. I have the correct spacers. I am taking the entire week off of work next week to get this car back on the road and would love to have a windshield! . Thanks guys!
