Default Windshield frame alignment

Does anyone out there have the dimensions or measurements from the windshield frame to the rear door post for a 97 C5 Coupe? I am in the process of straightening out a windshield and am trying to find the dimensions. I have a frame straightening chart for a 99 but the dimensions don't seem to be the same. :chevy

Looks like no-one wants to tackle your problem, alleypatrat!

From what I've read, the aluminum windshield frame assembly from the 1997-1998 models (combination of extruded and cast pieces) isn't intended to be repaired, but replaced. For reference, check the 19th page of the pdf document at the following link:
