The windshield is shipped oversized.
Numerous adjustments are needed to insure a perfect fit. But it aswers a question I've been asking myself for a while : how could they glue the contour parts in place without knowing the exact dimension of the windshield? In fact it's the windshield that is ajusted to the frame not the opposite.

The windshield is covered with a protective film. Thus it can be manipulated without risk of scratching the surface.
