The Sliding Rod cup is placed on the new windshield before starting to lift it into position.
1. Position a cradle close to the left-hand side of the vehicle and place the new windshield
on it, with the outer side facing upwards.
2. On the right-hand side of the windshield, using the red line marked on the collapsed
Sliding Rod measure down 7 inches from the top. Mark with your finger or a grease
pen. See figure 7.
When taking this measurement:
• The rod should NOT be extended.
• The distance measured should NOT include any moulding or trim present; it should
be taken from where the glass starts.
