I am getting ready to install my new windshield and could someone give me a few pointers, as I am new to all of this and want to make sure I give myself every chance of being successful. Thanks from me and my 1946 415C ercoupe. Smitty Smitty, when I have the windshield perfectly in position I take a soldering iron with a very sharp, pointed conical tip, and make the holes for the windshield screws through the holes in the aircraft. I can then drill the holes very slightly oversize for expansion with confidence, since I now have starter holes that are "reinforced" by the melting. When drilling, use a Plexiglas bit, and use a very slow speed. What causes cracks is the drill hanging up.
