I haven’t used the kit but I’ve looked at enough of these windshield frame repair projects to know that the reproduction pieces are close, but require massaging, like most reproduction sheet metal stampings. How about some pics of your frame rust damage and the parts you’re trying to repair it with? Loads of experience on this forum regarding birdcage rust repair.
