SO what are your thoughts about how the windshield will support and strengthen the windshield frame in the event of a roll over? To me, that GLASS is very important for that as well as stiffening the body/frame etc?

I'm guessing you got a PE opinion on it right?

If this car needs to rely on glass to strengthen the window frame, then it has more problems than just over heating.

I did consult a few people on this very topic and none seem to have a worry at all. However I am interested to know your thoughts on this? This is new to me and haven't dealt with this type of windshield before so any feedback is greatly appreciated

It will be a mute point anyways once the cage goes in.
