Terry,
It is a rare bird that the windshiled will drop right in place. What is critical is where the 'arms' fit to the cowl bar side plates. It is almost always a little off there fore the need for shims. The arms can be bent very slightly but be carefull and use a wrag around them and bend the lower section using a vice. If you are using the "marked/inscribed" lines on the body for alignement these are always off and are for reference only not the actual cut out areas. (Why this isn't in the manual beats me!) If you bent the arms or they are very close to matching the cowl bar plates do NOT pull them in tight with the bolts! Absolutely use a shim or two. If you draw them in tight to the cowl bar with bolts you will surely snap the glass in time. (This is the biggest reason you will hear that guys have weeks or months driving their cars when one morning they come out and find the windshield cracked from top to botom.)
