My post comes in part from watching an SCCA showroom stock race and saw a guy spin at-speed. The side windows are always down, so when the car spun, the air pressurized the interior, blowing the sun roof about 50 feet in the air. The windshield stayed put, but only because it had the required hold-down clamps, but the sunroof didn't! |

I could see the 6049 tube mount popping out easily. I'd weld a flange to fit the typical gaskets shown and just seal the gap between the spot welds. The standard types don't need anything extra beside the "rope" locking strip. Common for windshields and pickup truck rear windows 90s and older.

My first thought is that if I spun a car 180 degrees while going forward (rearward?) fast enough to pop put a windshield, worrying about losing the windshield would be 2nd to cleaning my shorts. BTW flat safety glass, flat windshields are relatively cheap to replace. Stop to pick up the rubber.

No. I've had a few close-ish calls with the truck staring to slide and the trailer going straight however. Never a fun experience.

I had a childhood friend who told me (thirty years after we'd met) that she'd asked a cowboy she was dating if he'd ever tied a woman up, and he hadn't, and she said it might be interesting, and he went out to his truck and came back with a bit of rope between his teeth...and eight seconds later she was lying on her side with both wrists and one ankle tied together. He said something along the lines of, "That was fun. What else do you want to do?" Little late reply but what I meant was that you put a piece of rope in the channel of the rubber where you want to put the windshield. Put the windshield over the rubber and slowly pull out the rubber while sliding the windshield into the channel that the rope is exposing when pulled out. |
