The old glass is broke so we can't use it to check fit.

The shop instructions from Porsche say to glue the glass to the rubber and then the rubber to the body. We tried that at first when we discovered this problem with the top edge not seating. That was a mess to clean up so now we are trying to set the windshield dry. Then we used used lube and that did not help.

Now we are thinking the pinchweld on the sides is less than 90 degrees to the body causing the rubber/glass combo to angle more verticle and not allowing the top edge to sit down. Looking at another car's pinchweld, it looks like only the bottom edge is at 90 degrees while the remaining edges are more than 90 degrees.

This is just not going right and we can't figure out why.

I will look into getting a pair of suction cups. They sure would make it easier to shift the glass around a little.
