Do you have a Subaru engine in your car ??...............Bruce
You file the rubber groove at each side by about 5 mm on about 10 cm, so the windshield glass will be able to go down in the rubber groove at each side. You should do your positioning with the tension Rod.
(sorry for my english)
Easier is to set the windshield rearward of the aluminum base molding
What aluminum base, I don't see it?
It's there, but not visible to island dwellers.... 
I had phone conversation, told him the bottom aluminum piece is necessary and explained the process to address the gaps, haven't heard since
bought aluminum angle. not easy to bend compound curves and followed site instructions. everything back on track. thanks alan
Did the Aluminum trim piece come pre-notched every inch or so? That made it easier to shape. DrClock also recommended using plastic VW fender welting under the aluminum for a finished look.
I used that fender welting on the last build - That stuff really makes a finished look AND helps seal it from water intrusion.
Is there any place I can get the detailed windshield install instructions. I cracked my 1st windshield and had to use an alternate gasket to fill the gaps (cmc body). I'd like to use the proper bottom gasket and aluminum trim piece. would like to know it is doable prior to diving into it. I'll need to order new glass and probably new frame and upper/lower gaskets. The CMC frame is not formed to align perfectly with the upper edge of the glass - impossible to bend into the perfect shape. Also the upper "gasket" is more like sheet metal edge trim so makes it very difficult to work with. -- any suggestions would be gladly appreciated. My car will be getting out of paint in the next few weeks
The build manual is here under RESOURCE LIBRARY for donating members.
The official CMC build manual pretty much sucks for getting it installed correctly.

Everything you need can be bought either from Greg Leach at Vintage Motor Cars or from Carey Hines at Beck. Either guy should have parts that fit.
If buying posts and frame you need to purchase from the same Vendor as there at slight differenced in windshield frame width that can make for extra time routing out the windshield posts to fit the frame. Glad to talk with you to explain the process message me and we'll call. ~ Alan
On my CMC I threw away the frame that came with the kit and replaced it with a frame from the original Vintage Speedsters.
