Not Ranked
Jim, I have found that it is just as common with other manufacturers that the windshields have broken often. It appears that there are 2 main reasons. The first being that the Cobra windshield sits straight up in the air and takes impact of even the smallest of stones. Secondly, the other reason they break is because of chasis flex. The Cobra has it's weakest link between the cockpit and dash area. This is where there is no support between the doors, only the floor pan and tranny tunnel. Most Cobra replicas have very strong chasis, including the BDR. What BDR has done is used shims to make sure that the windshield is not over flexed to begin with. They insert the shims between the posts and the frame mounts under the dash. Simple fix with a few washers as shims and presto.
Thanks for the info, James
