    Any Chance some 32 owners could snap and post a few pics of the upper and lower windshield gaps... I'd truly appreciate it.

    Im not sure if the gaps above the windshield or below are correct or even in the ballpark.

    A reference pic would be great... Anyone?

    Please do. I just received a few big packages of parts today. Hopefully towards the end of the week I'll get to spend some time in the shop.
