I guess into every windshield and little rock must fall… but this one was pretty big 😂
New glass and seals top and bottom have been ordered, any recommendations or tips for an easy windshield replacement on a Vintage Speedster?

This is my one big fear. Glass and I don't do well together. I wish you nothing but success, Quadmod.
Should be a couple of threads here - the search magnifying glass. Suspect DrClock or Gordon. Maybe in Resources here? Know you don't overtighten anything - it just floats. Also, the 2 screws either side of posts MUST NOT touch the glass edge.
Ah - in Resources Knowledge Base (for subscribers):
Granted it's been a few years for me. But, you already have all the hard part of alignment done. Last time, I was able to unscrew the two screws on each side that hold the frame down to the post, then unscrew the center post. Pull everything apart and reassemble without adjusting the posts at all. It took lots of soapy water and gentle pressure with a partners help. @WOLFGANG is right, make sure the back of those screws don't hit the glass edge.

This is probably the same article Wolfgang referenced and was a collaboration between me and Alan Merklin.
