Does it matter how loaded the chassis is on a t top car when you install the windshield?
At what point on the assembly line did they install the windshield?
Obviously after paint and before interior , but with drivetrain or even suspension?

Can't say I know anything about it but this Cadillac is getting it's windshield after the interior etc.

I've seen pictures of a 92 on the line with no engine or trans in the car, the dash was in and the windshield was in at this point.

Interesting.
I might be assuming too much that they did it before interior, but I would have thought they would do it before so they wouldn't risk getting goop on it and I would also think they would want to install without the apillar trim getting in the way, but I guess not at Cadillac!
I'm thinking the drivetrain should be in first.

Hmm, maybe it doesn't really matter.
Thanks Scott.
