Step 3: Make Template of Windshield

Use heavy poster board and make a template of the windshield from the inside, being careful NOT to allow the poster board to sag into the top to bottom curve of the windshield. (Only let the poster board touch the perimeter of the windshield). Place a piece of tape on the frame top center. Make an alignment mark on the tape extending onto the template. This mark will be used for assembly. Label the top and bottom of the template, and left and right. Trace the windshield perimeter on to the poster board and then cut out the template. Be sure to cut the template exactly on the trace lines so that the template is not cut larger then it really should be.
