I don't think the angle is wrong as it is bonded on to the metal frame built in to the chassis so this should be straight.

Hah! Metal frame my shiny metal ass! I removed my fibreglass sills and the FIBREGLASS windscreen frame sagged 12mm in short order from the weight of the screen. My hardtop will be IN PLACE when my fibreglass sills and the windscreen go back in! Those are what hold the frame in the right place.

It's more than a little scary how weak and floppy the chocolate windscreen frame is. :unsure:

It is possible that the screen is in the right place and the surround is not since it is a heated screen.

It's well known that the windscreen frame isn't strong that's why you shouldn't haul yourself out of the car with it.

Having never seen a heated screen,I have a question? Do these not come with the surround fitted like the standard screens?
