    Default Windshield overlap at butt rib

    I'm building a SS7 and installing the windshield. The directions say to cut the windshield skylight area flush with the sides of the butt rib. I was thinking it would be nice to leave 1/4" or so wider than the edge of the butt rib to cover the gap where the wing meets the butt rib. This way it may keep water out and look nicer. Have others done this? Any downfalls? Thanks
