The last time I did the windscreen on a hardtop - I put everything
together 1st then installed it on the hardtop - this worked wonderfully; much
easier than the 1st hardtop I worked on which turned into a most of the day
project and finger numbing exercise.
I'm thinking the same is true with the windshield. It is very possible that
loosening the frame a little will allow you to insert the lower strip but I
don't know.
Good luck

Stu,
Yes, just give up and take it off, you know how to do it!
It will be easier next time (you already solved the tilt and hole cutting
problems I assume) You might just have to loosen it and lift it up a little?
I have done at least two windshields over the years and I can't remember how I
did it but at least after a while you forget what a pain it was :) Gary
