Rob, I'll leave the picking and loading to you. Glass would be nice but I am more interested in the condition of the bottom portion where it mounts. BTW, I learned the shatterproof coating on the original glass gets pitted and discoloured if you have grinder sparks hitting it. That and don't sit on a folded windshield. All reasons why I had John Grainger (IltisDriver) cut me a replacement at his auto-glass shop.

My mind's eye sees a 4-6" lift with corresponding hinges and latches. Not a permanent modification, just something for top down driving or road moves. The need is to raise the top edge of the windshield so I am not slouching. That might be OK if I was wearing leathers, arched back, hanging onto the bars of a powerful Harley, but not in an upright M151A2.
