on this subject , not to steal your thread , but do the windshield chrome clips need to go in before the windshield? If I remember correctly the screws just barely came out with the winshield in.

No. The windshield chrome snaps onto clips that are slid onto little steel studs. The studs are part of the frame.
The windshield goes in after the clips are mounted to the studs, then the chrome snaps over the clips.
