Re: 55 Patrician windshield replacement

My friend Paul in Las Vegas had this exact same problem with the windshield glass in his 1956 Exec 2dr which of course is the same as the 1955 Pat. By measurement, the new glass was shorter than the original. He solved his problem by extending the edge of the glass with JB Weld. Upon reflection, he said if he had to do it again, he would modify the windshield glass channel in the body instead. He tried two different NEW windshields and both were the same.

FWIW, I don't recall that the problem is the Steele gasket.
