I'm currently swapping parts from one car to another and I have my windshields stored. The rear windshield is easy. Its just sitting flat on a carpeted floor. The front windshield is sitting on its bottom edge on a large piece of foam. The top edge is leaning against the wall, cushioned by more foam. Its been sitting like this for a couple weeks at least, and so far no problems.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) My windshield came out so easily I almost broke it over the hood. I had a couple of old comforters - real thick ones - so I wrapped those around the windshield, took some heavy cardboard boxes and bent those over the edges and then used duct tape from the anti-terrorist supply bin to tape the whole thing up. It's been sitting in my parts department like that for months now.

Make sure not to lay it flat as it will start to warp/flatten out... Getting it back in will then be a chore...
