A good starting point for testing with a Deluxe is to put some bluing (or equivalent) on the cones and rotate the windshield in place then check the cone AND cup to see the contact areas. It will transfer from the cone to the cup where there was contact.

What a great pic, as it explains some things visually, thanks ! I'm going to try the 'blueing' technique !
