    Default windshield trimming

    Hello everyone! My question is, when trimming the windshield for the front and rear pins did you drill the hole in the windshield or trim back far enough to expose the hole. I'm thinking of drilling the hole for the back spar and trimming it back enough for the front. Curious to see which way people went.

    Thanks again

    Drilled holes for both front and back.

    Did the same as you are thinking, drill rear, trim front.

    Drilled both and enlarged as needed with a unibit.
    Worked well for me.
