Do not even think about installing glass, take it to a shop and then all of the fitment problems are their problems not your problems.

I've done a few windshields before. By and large I agree about taking it to a professional.

Unfortunately, all of my mistakes with glass do not have anything to do with the fitment. They are all "nut behind the wheel" problem. Ouch

Here's a good hint about 2A windshield glass: if you take the glass out, don't lay it on the living room carpet and cover it with a tarp.  Next time you're crawling around on that floor, you'll kneel on the glass and you'll hear that "CRACK"...  It's not a lot of noise for the damage it does. Ouch
There's a reason it's called Ol' Unreliable

I have already mentioned welding and glass problems. Back when I was living in the dorms a friend decided that he could store the replacement windshield for his Mustang under my bed. It didn't survive. I got the glass out of the windshield of my 3B without breaking it but while I was welding up a few holes on the frame it fell over and broke the glass that was carefully covered to protect it. Off to let the glass shop deal with it.
