Not Ranked
Just lay the tape measure along the glass. That broom reference is to show you the curvature of the glass. I recently replaced the windshield in my ERA with the Cobra Valley windshield. Like you, my measurements didn't work out exactly to the specs shown on his website. There is some flexibility in sizing. That is, the new windshields get "glued" into the frame and the frame will flex quite a bit. I had a hard time narrowing my choice down between two sizes. I reached out to Performance Unlimited to make sure he had both sizes in stock. He did so I chose to remove the frame the glass, measure the glass without the frame and then place my order. That gave me a bit more confidence in my measurements.
By the way, removing the frame from the old glass was the hardest part. It got much easier once I started using a heat gun to heat up the old seal. That made sliding the frame off much easier.
Good luck.
