Not to hijack the string, but I need to install the glass on my 29 phaeton windshield frame. I have the frame nicely painted and I don't want to damage the paint on the frame. The top is straight, but the bottom is curved. I can use rags or cloth to protect the top. I used pipe clamps when installing the glass in the 28 coupe windshield frame and it worked fine. However, an open car frame only has a tube on the bottom of the frame and it more fragile. I can't think of anything to use to protect the curved bottom of the frame from damage and sliding from the pipe clamps.
