    Windshield Stands ? At first he had ordered the maverick windshield and they got the order wrong and sent him a windshield for a SAAB. Funny...He's got the correct windshield now.

    They are small metal blocks that sit at the base of the windshield.

    I'm not sure. I'm assuming they were fine since he said things are looking good. He said he didn't find any major issues that he couldn't correct easily. I'm hoping I can pick up the car today since that area will be under a possible hurricane/tropical storm warning tomorrow.

    I would ask him how many just to check and see if they are there. a lot of times they get thrown away with the old seal if you don't know they are there. should be at least 2, some have 4.

    Hi Will:
    On the windshield blocks. If you can't or don't WANT to use them, a thick-walled rubber hose will suffice.
    My windshield guy installed three windshields in this manner and they fit well , don't leak and they will
    never rust. Just thought I'd pass that on . By the way ... Did you register for the NPD All FORD show in Ocala,FL in January of 2017 ?? We're taking three cars there and there are others in Florida that I know that are going to attend also.

    That really is good to know! Yep I have already regestered for it. Ken told me about it when I bought some seats from him.
