On a 1931 Slant windshield the wood above the windshield. I am replacing the wood. It will not fit. I have been told to cut it at a 45 degree angle and then put it in. The origional was not cut. It is one piece. How toput it in? Thanks, John

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get your wood?

DO NOT cut your header wood sand it down a little at a time until it fit. remember it is easyier to shave the wood to fit then to add and then shave the wood to fit. every header that I have bought from Steve is a little to big, and I like it that way.you want the header wood to fit nicely under the header cover so that your top molding has some wood to nail too.
