    Windshield measurements

    What is the proper way to measure a windshield height? Do you measure the about the extends above the rubber seal? Just want to make sure before I order a new one. Thx

    At least two windshield manufacturers measure them differently. My 11" Cee Baileys and 14" Clearview are for all practically purposes the same height. Cee Bailey measures from the rubber seal following the angle of the windshield. Clearview measures from the area of the ignition key to the top of the shield. You need to compare them equally.

    Measure as vertically as you can from the Honda logo near the ignition.

    Using this technique, my, quote, 11" Madstad is about identical height as my, quote, 16" Clearview.
