The person that had my PW before me had new glass put in the windshield frame. I believe that in this process the frame might have got sprung" just a tad, causing the angle from the center out to be slightly less than normal. If I am correct on this, it has resulted in me not getting a good seal at the driver and passenger ends. Its as if the frame is just a bit too far from the metal of the cab on the ends.
There is a very good seal at the top and bottom.
Also the gasket is inserted properly.
I have tried pushing on the hinges from outside with everything loosened up, and then tightening, but the problem is still there.
Has any one else had this problem and if so how did you fix it?
I have a hydraulic press and thought I could carefully bend to a slightly more acute angle if I made a support jig.
